Answer: y = (3^(x-1))*1500
Step-by-step explanation:
We want the relationship
y = f(x)
where y is the number of songs, and x is the number of years.
We know that in the first year, x = 1, the site has 1,500 songs.
The next year, x = 2, the number of songs is tripled, then we will have:
1,500*3 = 4500 songs.
The next year, x = 3, we will have: 3*(3*1500) = (3^2)*1500.
when x = 4, the number is tripled again:
3*(3^2)*1500 = (3^3)*1500
We already can see the pattern, for the year x, the site will have:
y = (3^(x-1))*1500 songs.
This is the equation we are looking for.
