which explicit formula can be used to find the number of rabbits in the nth generation ?

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's check
The formula is 3 *6^(n-1)
The first generation had 3 rabbits
3*6(1-1) = 3*6^0 = 3*1 =3
That works
Try it again with the 2nd generation
n is the number of generation
3*6^(2-1)= 3*6^1 = 18
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
We can deduce the formula
The initial number of rabbits is 3
Each time we multiply by 6
So for the generation number n the formula will be :
3*6^(last generation-first generation)
3*6^(n-1)
Answer:
A. an = 3(6)^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
1st generation: n = 1:
a1 = 3*6^(1-1) = 3*6^0
= 3
n = 2:
a2 = 3*6^2-1
= 3*6
=18
n = 3
a3 = 3*6^(3-1)
= 3*6^2
= 106.
