Question

Tayeba's gourmet meal catering company is planning an event for 2 people. One week before the event, she finds out that the number of people has doubled. In exponential and standard form, how many people will be at the event?

a) 4
b) 8
c) 16
d) 32

Answer 1

The number of people at the event will be 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of people at the event, we need to consider that the number of people has doubled. Since there were initially 2 people, doubling that would give us 2 * 2 = 4 people. So, the answer is a) 4. In exponential form, we can represent the increase as 21 = 2, which means the original number of people 2 is multiplied by 2 once. In standard form, we can simply state that the number of people will be 4.
