Answer: 6 × 4^x
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that scientists released 6 rabbits into a new habitat in year 0 and that each year, there were four times as many rabbits as the year before.
The number of rabbits there after x years will be:
= 6 × 4^x
For example, let us say we want to calculate the number of rabbits after 2 years.
= 6 × 4^x
= 6 × 4²
= 6 × 16
= 96 rabbits
