Answer:
Explanation:
Make sure you are dealing with the same values in your directions.
1. State which two students you are studying so your instructor knows for whom each partner is responsible. Harrison and Anita
2. Provide an exponential function representing Anita's social media shares.
f(x)= 41(2)^x
3. Provide an exponential function representing Juan's social media shares.
f(x)= 4^x
4. Using the functions for each student, predict how many shares each student's post will have received on Day 3 and then on Day 10. Justify your answers.
Harrison
f(x) =7(2)^x = f(3) = 7(2)^3 = 7(8) = 56
f(x) =7(2)^10 = f(10) = 7(2)^10 = 7(1024) = 7,168
Anita
f(x)= 41(2)^x = f(3) = 41(2)^3 = 41(8) = 328
f(x) =41(2)^10 = f(10) = 41(2)^10 = 41(1024) = 41,984
5. Based on your results, which student's post travels the fastest? How is this shown in the equation form of the functions?
Between students Harrison and Anita the post that travels the fastest was Anita at 41,984 posts.
f(x) = 41(2)^10
6. If you had to choose, would you prefer a post with fewer friends initially but more shares or more friends initially but fewer shares? Does your partner agree or disagree? Can you think of reasons why more or fewer shares are preferable? Justify your answer with your calculations from previous questions.
Fewer friends initially but more shares. If you want a post to go viral you want more shares with more people. The post was viewed 41,984 times in 10 days.
This represents sharing with 2 friends for 3 days.
f(x)= 41(2)^x = f(3) = 41(2)^3 = 41(8) = 328
This represents sharing with 2 friends for 10 days.
f(x) =41(2)^10 = f(10) = 41(2)^10 = 41(1024) = 41,984
