Answer:
A) [tex]f(x)=5120(1.25)^x[/tex]
B) [tex]f(x)=4800(1.5)^x[/tex]
C) see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
Hopefully this formatting looks ok:
| Weeks x | Views f(x) |
| ------------ | -------------- |
| 0 | 5120 |
| 1 | 6400 |
| 2 | 8000 |
| 3 | 10000 |
| 4 | 12500 |
| 5 | 15625 |
| ------------ | -------------- |
That's my attempt at a table.
We need an equation in the form of:
[tex]f(x)=a(b)^x[/tex]
where a is the starting value and b is the growth factor.
First, check the difference between each week:
[tex]6400 - 5120=1280\\8000 - 6400=1600\\10000 - 8000=2000\\12500 - 10000=2500\\15625 - 12500=3125\\[/tex]
Then, check the scale factor for each of the differences:
[tex]16000\div 12080 = 1.25\\2000\div 1600=1.25[/tex]
etc..
The difference grows by 1.25x each week. That is, a grow factor of 1.25.
Now that we have both the starting value and the grow factor, we can write the equation:
[tex]f(x)=5120(1.25)^x[/tex]
If you want to test it, for example, calculate for the 3rd week:
[tex]f(3)=5120(1.25)^3\\f(3)=5120(1.953125)\\f(3)=10000[/tex]
Part B
This is very similar to Part A. The starting value and growth factor are given this time, so all you need to do is write the equation with the new values.
[tex]f(x)=4800(1.5)^x[/tex]
Part C
The initial number of video views (5120) was more than the initial number of site views (4800), and the number of video views grew (1.25) by a smaller factor than the number of site visits (1.5).
The difference between the total number of site visits and the video views after 5 weeks is 20,825.
[tex]f(5)=5120(1.25)^5=15625 -video\\f(5)=4800(1.5)^5=36450-site\\36450-15625=20825[/tex]
The equation to model the relationship between the number of weeks and the number of views will be f(x) = 5120(1.25)^x
How to depict the equation?
From the information given, the difference in the views will be:
6400 - 5120 = 1280
8000 - 6400 = 1600
10000 - 8000 = 2000
The scale factor will be:
= 1600/1280 = 2000/1600
= 1.25
Therefore, the growth factor is 1.25.
The equation to model the relationship between the number of weeks, x, and the number of site visits is 4800(1.5)^x.
Lastly, the difference between the total number of visits and the video views will be:
= 4800(1.5)^5 - 5120(1.25)^5
= 36450 - 15625
= 20825
