Lillian Gallegos · Answer 1

We are given with the data on teh number of squirrels seen in each week. In this case, the number of squirrels seen increases as week goes. This is a geometric series with a ratio of 1.5 and a1 equal to 8. The equation should be 8 (1.5) ^ (n-1) where n is the number of weeks. The answer is option D.
