Question 1042531: Please help me solve this problem:
Dr. Jane is studying the growing population of a species of jellyfish in a body of water. Each year, she records the population of jellyfish. The first year, she recorded a population of 17 jellyfish. Every following year, the population increased by four times the previous year�s population. At this rate, what will be the jellyfish population in the 9th year of her study?
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let = the population after year

( note that the 1st year is year zero )
The 9th year is really year 8 in this formula
( 0 - 8 ) is 9 years

The population will be 1,114,112 in the 9th year
Hope I got it
