Michael starts a website for people in his town to share news. He uses the equation shown to estimate the number of users, y, who will have signed up x weeks after he officially launched the website. Y=82(1.045)^x The growth factor is 4.5% How many users should Michael expect after the first month?

Answer 1

Michael should expect approximately 85 users after the first month.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of users Michael should expect after the first month, we can substitute the value of x as 1 (since it is one month) into the given equation: Y = 82(1.045)^x.

Substituting x = 1, we have Y = 82(1.045)^1 = 85.49.

Therefore, Michael should expect approximately 85 users after the first month.
