In the 1st generation, there are 8 raccoons in a forest.

Choice D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence representing the number of raccoons;

8, 24, 72

is simply but a geometric sequence with first term 8 and common ratio 3.

The formula for the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term x and common ration r is;

In the given case, x = 8 and r = 3

We substitute these values in the above formula;

the correct functions are

h(x) = 3x + 2  

g(x) = 2^x

step-by-step explanation:

i proceed to calculate the different values ​​of k (x)

case 1)  k(x) = g(x) ∘ h(x)

g(x) ∘ h(x)=g(h(x))

k(x) = [2]^[3x + > is the option  4. k(x) = 2^(3x + 2 )

case 2)  k(x) = g(x) + h(x)

k(x) = [2^x]+[3x + 2]=2^x+3x+> is the option  1.) k(x) = 2^x + 3x + 2

case 3)k(x) = h(x) ÷ g(x)

k(x) =  [3x + 2]/[2^x]=3x/(2^x)+2/(2^x)=3x*(2^-x)+2^(1-x)

is the option  3.)   k(x) = (3x)2^(-x) + 2^(-x + 1 )

case 4)k(x) = g(x) - h(x)

k(x) =  [2^x]-[3x + 2]=2^x-3x-> is the option  2.) k(x) = 2^x - 3x - 2 

case 5)  k(x) = g(x) × h(x)

k(x) = [2^x]*[3x + > is the option  5.) k(x) = 2^x(3x + 2)

case 6)k(x) = h(x) ∘ g(x)

h(x) ∘ g(x)=h(g(x))

k(x)=3*[2^x]+> is the option  6. k(x) = 3(2^x) +2

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
