we are given

Let's assume total number of books =y

number of days =x

They started with 2 books

so, first term is 2

second term is 6

third term is 18

we can see that this is geometric series

so, firstly we will find common ratio


r=(6)/(2)= 3

total number of terms is x+1

now, we can find nth term


y=2(r)^(x+1-1)

now, we can plug back r

we get


y=2(3)^(x)...........Answer
