Rabbits Thinking Mathematically 6th Edition Question Consider the problem: A rabbit population grew in the following pattern: 2, 4, 8, 16… If all of the rabbits live and continue in the pattern, how many rabbits will be in the 8th generation? (32, 128, 256, or 512?) This is an example of a geometric sequence.
Comment on the rabbit question above and your method of solution
S = (2(1-28))/(1-2)
= 2(1-256)/ (-1)
=510
The population of rabbits increases
