Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The problem can be modeled by using the compound growth formula.
Given, Initial number P_0 of people who Nicholas sent the chain letter t=50
The growth rate, r =99%=0.99
Period of Growth,k =12 Weeks

Therefore, in any week (t) after Nicholas initially sent the mail, the number of people who receive the email is modeled by the function:

Answer:

I believe the answer to this is one. A numerical coefficient is a constant multiplier of the variables in a term. Since the term is only an x, you always put a one before an x. Therefore, the numerical coefficient is 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Each new term is equal to -1/2 times the previous term:
a(n) = (-1/2)a(n - 1) with a(1) = 56 (Recursive formula).
