For example, x=0 represents the beginning of the year 2000 , x=1 represents the beginning of the year 2001 , and so forth. According to the model, how many fish were in Skipper’s Pond at the beginning of the year 2006 ?

Answer 1

One more Sorry!*

Answer 2

like the problem states, x represents years after 2000

they want the population in 2006, so x = 6. plug in x = 6 into the equation f(x) = 3(2^x)
