Scientists released 6 ferrets into a new habitat in year 0. Each year, there were 3 times as many ferrets as the year before. How many ferrets were there after x years? Write a function to represent this scenario.

ANSWER
[tex][/tex]EXPLANATION;
Given that
The intial value of the ferrets is 6
The increase rate is 3
Follow the steps below
Recall, that the standard form of an exponential function is given below
[tex]\text{ y = ab}^x[/tex]Where
a = initial value
b = ratio
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ y = 6 \lparen3\rparen}^x \\ \text{ let y = f\lparen x\rparen} \\ \text{ So,} \\ \text{ f\lparen x\rparen= 6 \lparen3\rparen}^x \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the correct answer is 6 (3)^x
