Rabbit populations can double every 30 days. If there are 26 rabbits on a farm, how many rabbits will be on the farm after 240 days? Use the Formula: Future Amount = { ](1+__)^{ }

Answer: 6,656 rabbits.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial number of rabbits is 26.

We know that every 30 days, this number is doubled.

Then after 30 days, the population of rabbits is: 2*26

After other 30 days, the population will be: 2*(2*26) = 26*(2)^2

After another 30 days, the population will be: 2*26*(2)^2 = 26*(26)^3

The equation for this population can be written as:

P = A*(1 + 1)^(d/30)

where:

A is the initial population, in this case, 26

d is the number of days that have ben passed.

the denominator of 30 is because the population doubles every 3 days, so when d = 30, we will have that d/30 = 1, this is the first time that the population is doubled. When d = 60, d/30 = 2, this is the second time that the population is doubled, and so on.

Then our equation is:

P(d) = 26*(2)^(d/30)

The population after 240 days will be:

P(240) = 26*(2)^(240/30) = 6,656

So after 240 days, there will be 6,656 rabbits.
