Scientists released 8 rabbits into a new habitat in year 0. each year, there were twice as many rabbits as the year before. how many rabbits were in ther after x years ? write a function to represent this scenario.

This function will be an exponential function, because the number of rabbits double each year

the basic form for exponential functions is

where s is the starting number, c i s the constant (rate of change like double, triple, etc.) and x is the number repeats (in this case, years)

so in this case, the starting number (year 0) is 8, and the rate of change is 2

therefore, the equation is:


hope this helps!

p.s. can i have brainliest?
