Advanced Math practice question

Answer: 4500

P(2) = 500 · 3² = 500 · 9 = 4500.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 1500

1500 is P(1); the model asks for day 2.

If you answered 3000

3² = 9, not 6: the population triples each day, twice over.

If you answered 9000

500 · 9 = 4500; doubling 4500 would be a day too far.
