Answer:

  • after week 7: 4374 pennies
  • 486 pennies: after week 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence values have a first term of 6 and a common ratio of 3, so can be described by the formula ...

  an = 6·3^(n-1)

This can be rearranged to ...

  an = 2·3^n

__

When n=7, the value is ...

  a7 = 2·3^7 = 4374 . . . . pennies saved after 7 weeks

__

To find when there are 486 pennies saved, we can solve the equation ...

  486 = 2·3^n

  243 = 3^n

  log(243) = n·log(3) . . . . . . . take the logarithm

  log(243)/log(3) = n = 5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of n

Tabitha will have saved 486 pennies after 5 weeks.
