Within two months of birth, a pair of the fish known as guppies can produce 50 offspring in the first generation. If half of those are females, each of the 25 females can produce 50 offspring. There would be 25 · 50 = 1250 guppies in the second generation, 25 · 1250 = 31,250 guppies in the third generation, and 781,250 guppies in the fourth generation. Assume this pattern continues; ignore additional births, predators, sickness, etc. Assume that 1 generation = 2 months.------What is the formula for the guppy population? Let y = number of guppies and x = generation. Group of answer choicesy = 50xy = 2 · 25xy = 50 · 2xy = 25 · 2x
