Answer:

B. 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick here is to recognize that the number of <u>new</u> people who learn this information each week is in powers of 2.

Week 0: 2^0 = 1

Week 1: 2^1 = 2

Week 2: 2^2 = 4 (2*2)

Week 3: 2^3 = 8 (2*2*2)

So following this pattern, we can just plug in 6 for week 6 and see what our answer is:

Week 6: 2^6 = 64 (2*2*2*2*2*2)

* A quick note in calculating powers:

calculating 2*2 six times is a lot of work. You know what isn't? 2*2*2 (8). You know what also isn't? 8*8. That's right, 8*8 is also 64! So instead of calculating 2*2*2*2*2*2, you can just calculate 2^3*2^3, or 8*8. :)

Answer:

B. 64 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each week the number who know the secret doubles so in the 4th week 8*2 = 16 ( = 2^4) new people know.

The number who find it out in the 6th week  is 2^6 = 64 people.

What is the graph of the function rule?<br><br> y = 3x - 2<br><br> Choose from the pictures
bulgar [2K]

we have

y=3x-2

we know that

this is the equation of a line, to identify which is the graph we will proceed to determine the points of intersection with the coordinate axes

1) <u>Find the y-intercept</u>

the y-intercept is when the value of x is equal to zero

For x=0

find the value of y

y=3*0-2

y=-2

2) <u>Find the x-intercept </u>

the x-intercept is when the value of y is equal to zero

For y=0

find the value of x

0=3x-2

x=(2/3)

therefore

the answer is the option B ( see the attached figure)

The amount of money,y, in cash box after x tickets are purchased for carnival games. The slope of the line is 1/4 and the y-inte
victus00 [196]

Amount of money received when x tickets are sold=$Y

Number of tickets sold=X

Slope of line= \frac{1}{4}

And , y- intercept = 8

Equation of line having slope m and y-intercept c is given by,

  y = m x + c,

Expressing the above statement in terms of linear equation in two variable i.e a line is

  Y = \frac{1}{4}X + 8
