Given : A social media website has currently = 1,000 members.
In each month number of members gets triple.
To find: Equation that represents number of members m belongs to site.
Solution: Because we are given, each month the number of members gets triple, that means each month we can multiply by 3 to the number of members of previous month.
For first month, we would multiply 1,000 by 3.
For second month, we would multiply 1,000 by 3 *3.
For second month, we would multiply 1,000 by 3*3*3.
Each month one factor of 3 is being increasing.
We could write those 3's as exponents of 3.
Like ![1000*3 = 1000*3^1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1000%2A3%20%3D%201000%2A3%5E1)
![1000 * 3^2.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1000%20%2A%203%5E2.)
![1000 * 3^3.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1000%20%2A%203%5E3.)
As many months as many 3's are there.
So, the exponent of 3 is represnts the number of months.
Let us take a variable for number of month by n.
So, we could setup an equation for number of members m belongs to site on a particular month n as
![m= 1000 (3)^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%3D%201000%20%283%29%5En)
This is our final equation.
