the function f(x)= 1000(2)^x where x is the number of weeks, represents the cicada population on a farm. Use a function to answer the following nation.
The function is: f ( x ) = 1,000 · 2^x x is the number of weeks. 1. y - intercept is : y = 1,000. 2. The y-intercept represents the cicada population at the start ( for x = 0 ). f ( 0 ) = 1,000 · 2^0 = 1,000 · 1 = 1,000. 3. The 2 in the function shows that cicada population doubles every week.
