Algebra-1

1. Determine the number of doubling periods:

Since the population of rabbits doubles every month and we want to know the number of rabbits after 3 months, the number of doubling periods  is equal to the number of months, which is .

 

2. Use the exponential growth formula:

The formula for exponential growth in this case is , where:

 is the final population of rabbits.

 is the initial population of rabbits. Here, .

 is the number of doubling periods, which is .

 

3. Substitute the values into the formula:
