Question

Suppose a computer virus begins by infecting 8 computers in the first hour after it is released. Each hour after that, each newly infected computer causes 8 more computers to become infected. The function y = 8x models this situation. Make a table with integer values of x from 1 to 4 in the space below. X = hour then 8X is number of computers infected

Answer 1

x 1 2 3 4
y 8 64 512 4096

Answer 2

Let's make the table by plugging in values for x and finding what we get for y:
x=1
y = 8*1 = 8
x=2
y = 8 * 2 = 16
x=3
y = 8*3 = 24
x = 4
y = 8*4 = 32
Our ordered pairs are: (1,8),(2,16),(3,24),(4,32)
As a table:
x 1 2 3 4
y 8 16 24 32
