On January 1, 2020 you bought a male and female gerbil. 4 months later on May 1st, they mate and have a male and female baby. Every 4 months your gerbil population continues to double on the 1st of the month.How many gerbils will you have on December 1, 2021?

Respuesta :

We will determine the final population as follows:

[tex]p=2(2)^6\Rightarrow p=128[/tex]

So, 24 months later (From Jan 1, 2020 to Dec 1, 2021) we will have that the population of Gerbils we would have, would be 128 Gerbils [Since they double each 4 months].
