Answer and explanation:
Given that initial population of fruit flies = 4
And population of fruit flies triple every week
If population of fruit flies triple every week then let x represent number if weeks
Therefore function can be modelled thus :
f(x)= 4 + 3x
To demonstrate that the function is correct, we use an example. Now assume population grows for two weeks, using the function:
f(2)= 4+3×2
f(2)= 10
Therefore population grows to 10 fruit flies in 2 weeks based on our function
