Question

Your friend asks you to make friendship bracelets and will give you 6

nickels for the first bracelet. You agree to help if she multiplies your payment by 6
for each bracelet completed. After 2
bracelets, you will receive 36
nickels, and after 3
bracelets, you will receive 216
nickels.

Complete and solve the equation that finds the number of nickels she will pay you after making the 8th
bracelet.

Answer 1

The answer is $1,679,616.


You get this answer by raising the 6 to the 8th power because your multiplying 6 by itself 8 times so 6^8 is just:
6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x6 x 6 x 6.

Hope this helps! (I’m not very good at explaining sorry!!)

Answer 2

`6^(n)`;1679616

Explanation:

For n=1, The result equals 6

Now, For n=2, the result is 36 so its:

an=
`6^(n)`

Therefore, The 8th bracelet is
`6^(8)`=1679616

Hope this will help.
