Answer: blank number 1 would be 4, and blank number 2 would be 8. then, blank number 3 would be 3. blank number 4 would be 2,048.
Explaination:
the starting number of employees is 4, so that starts off as our base number in the first blank. we are multiplying the 4 by how many will be there in 8 years, so that's why it goes in the second blank. now, we are tripling this every year, so that goes in the 3rd blank as the exponent. multiply all that together in a calculator, and you get 2,048.
