Each week Thomas will double the amount of money in his bank. What type of function is represented by this situation

Answer:

An exponential growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each week, Thomas will double the amount of money in his bank.

Let's assume that in week 0, he has an amount A of money in his bank.

After one week, in week number 1 (w = 1), the amount of money is doubled, so if we define the function M(w) as the amount of money as a function of the number of weeks, we will have:

M(1) = 2*A

After another week, in w = 2, the amount of money is doubled again, so here we have:

M(2) = 2*(M(1)) = 2*(2*A) = A*2^2

After another week, at w = 3, the amount of money is doubled again:

M(3) = 2*(M(2)) = 2*(A*2^2) = A*2^3

We already can see the pattern here, we can expect that for the week w, the amount of money in the account is given by:

M(w) = A*2^w

This is an exponential equation (an exponential growth to be more specific), so the type of function that is represented by this situation is an exponential growth.

Could it be 12? Difference between 16-13=3, 13-7=6. 4-3=1, 3-1=2. Seems as if for each column, difference between first and second row is one half the difference between the 2nd and third rows
