Tadeo is a beekeeper. The table shows the weekly number of bees producing honey in a new hive. Which expression gives the number of bees in week 12?

The exponential equation that gives the number of bees in week 12 is of:
[tex]y = 4(3)^{11} = 708588[/tex]
It is modeled by:
[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]
In which:
In this problem, considering that the initial week is the first, and the value triples every week, the expression for the number of bees after x weeks is given by:
[tex]y = 4(3)^{x - 1}[/tex]
Hence, after 12 weeks, the expression is:
[tex]y = 4(3)^{11} = 708588[/tex]
