Answer: 6) 18, 54, 162, 486, 1458, 4374
7) Exponential; because each previous term is multiplied by the growth factor (which is 3 "tripled" for this problem)
8) see graph (attached)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
NOTE: Tripled is a hint that this is an exponential function which is of the form y = a(b)ˣ where "a" is the initial value and "b" is the growth factor
For this problem, "a" is given as 2 and "b" is given as tripled which is 3
The equation is: y = 2(3)ˣ
Notice that they are using "m" to replace y and "b" to replace x
which results in the equation: m = 2(3)ᵇ
