Answer: the number of shoppers on the first day is 125
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of shoppers is 20% more than the numbers of shoppers the day before. It means that the number of shoppers is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as
Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)
Where
n represents the number of term in the sequence.
a represents the first term in the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
From the information given,
r = 1 + 20/100 = 1.2
n = 4(first 4 days)
S4 = 671
Therefore, the expression for the first 4 days is
671 = (a × 1.2^(4) - 1)/1.2 - 1
671 = (a × 1.2^(4) - 1)/0.2
671 = 1.0736a/0.2
671 = 5.368a
a = 671/5.368
a = 125

Hope i helped
let me know if i did not
Answer:
the two similar are the two side ones
One possible equation for this quadratic would be
y=(x-4)²-1. This is vertex form: y=a(x-h)²+k, where (h, k) is the vertex.
However, this is not the only possible equation. There could be multiple values for a, in front of the parentheses, that we don't know about from the information we are given.
We can also write this equation in standard form (y=ax²+bx+c). First write the squared binomial as the product of two binomials:
y=(x-4)(x-4)-1
Multiply the binomials:
y=x*x-4*x-4*x-4(-4)-1
= x²-4x-4x--16-1
= x²-8x+16-1
= x²-8x+15
Again, this would change depending on what the value of a is in the functoin.
