Question

A video posted on the internet has gone viral, and the total number of views is increasing by 25% every hour. If the video currently has 155, 000views how many views will it have in 6 hours?

Answer 1

$\qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth} \\\\ A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &155000\\ r=rate\to 25\%\to \frac{25}{100}\dotfill &0.25\\ t=hours\dotfill &6\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=155000(1 + 0.25)^{6}\implies A=155000(1.25)^6\implies A\approx 591278$
