1.78 is the correct answer.
OK, so this is assuming we are considering that the first three kids to solve ARE NOT in the first day.
So we have 3 kids and it doubles
Day 1 : 6
Day 2 : 12
Day 3 : 24
Day 4 : 48
Day 5 : 96
Day 6 : 192
Day 7: 384
So it should take 7 days or a week to solve all the problems.
The equation:
(3 * 2)^x = 384
What you can use for this case is a function of the potential type.
We have then
y = a (b) ^ x
Where we have:
Walker starts the fund by depositing $ 5
a = 5
Each week the balance of the fund is twice the balance of the previous week:
b = 2
The function is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks to reach $ 1280 is 8 weeks.
Check:
y = 5 (2) ^ 8
y = 1280
Answer:
An equation can be used to find the number of weeks, x, after which the balance of the fund will reach $ 1,280 is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks that it takes to reach the class goal is
8 weeks
Answer: A: 6
B: 4
C: 2
