Question

Please help me!!!! You only have to answer number 1!!!

Answer 1

Given : A social media website has currently = 1,000 members.

In each month number of members gets triple.

To find: Equation that represents number of members m belongs to site.

Solution: Because we are given, each month the number of members gets triple, that means each month we can multiply by 3 to the number of members of previous month.

For first month, we would multiply 1,000 by 3.

For second month, we would multiply 1,000 by 3 *3.

For second month, we would multiply 1,000 by 3*3*3.

Each month one factor of 3 is being increasing.

We could write those 3's as exponents of 3.

Like
`1000*3 = 1000*3^1`

`1000 * 3^2.`

`1000 * 3^3.`

As many months as many 3's are there.

So, the exponent of 3 is represnts the number of months.

Let us take a variable for number of month by n.

So, we could setup an equation for number of members m belongs to site on a particular month n as

`m= 1000 (3)^n`

This is our final equation.
