Answer:

(a) The exponential function representing the number of people who had watched the video t hours after the initial observation is n(t) = 129\cdot 1.3^{\frac{t}{3} }.

(b) As n(120) < 5\times 10^{6}, we conclude that this video is not going "viral".

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement is incomplete. The complete statement is:

<em>An internet analytics company measured the number of people watching a video posted on a social media platform. The company found 129 people had watched the video and that the number of people who had watched it was increasing by 30% every 3 hours. </em>

<em>(a)</em><em> Write an exponential function for the number of people A who had watched the video n hours after the initial observation.</em>

<em>(b)</em><em> A video is said to go "viral" if the number of people who have watched the video exceeds 5 million within 5 days (120 hours). Would this video be considered to have gone viral?</em>

(a) From the statement of the problem we get the following relationship:

\frac{n_{i+1}}{n_{i}}= r^{[(i+1)-i]} (Eq. 1)

Where:

n_{i} - i-th number of people watching a video, dimensionless.

n_{i+1} - (i+1)-th number of people watching a video, dimensionless.

r - Increase ratio, dimensionless.

For Induction Theorem, we get the following relatioship for i = 0:

\frac{n_{1}}{n_{o}} = r^{1-0} (Eq. 2)

For i = m, the following relationship is constructed:

\left(\frac{n_{1}}{n_{o}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}} \right)\cdot ...\cdot \left(\frac{n_{m+1}}{n_{m}} \right) = r^{m}

\frac{n_{m+1}}{n_{o}} = r^{m}(Eq. 3)

And for i = m+1, we have the following expression:

\left(\frac{n_{1}}{n_{0}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}} \right)\cdot ...\cdot \left(\frac{n_{m+2}}{n_{m}} \right) = r^{m+1}

\frac{n_{m+2}}{n_{0}} = r^{m+1}(Eq. 4)

If we multiply (Eq. 3) by the (m+1)-th ratio based on (Eq. 1):

\left(\frac{n_{m+1}}{n_{o}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{n_{m+2}}{n_{m+1}} \right) =  r^{m} \cdot r

\frac{n_{m+2}}{n_{o}} = r^{m+1}

Which is (Eq. 4) and the exponential function is represented by:

n_{i+1} = n_{o}\cdot r^{i}, i\in \mathbb{N}_{O} (Eq. 5)

As the number of people is increased at constant rate every 3 hours, we get that i is:

i = \frac{t}{3}, t \in \mathbb{R}, t \geq 0 (Eq. 6)

Where t is the time, measured in hours.

Then, the exponential function is:

n(t) = n_{o}\cdot r^{\frac{t}{3} } (Eq. 7)

Where n_{o} is the initial number of people watching the video, dimensionless.

If we know that n_{o} = 129 and r = 1.3, then the exponential function representing the number of people who had watched the video t hours after the initial observation is:

n(t) = 129\cdot 1.3^{\frac{t}{3} }

(b) If we know that t = 120\,h, then we evaluate the exponential function:

n (120) = 129\cdot 1.3^{\frac{120}{3} }

n(120) = 4.659\times 10^{6}

As n(120) < 5\times 10^{6}, we conclude that this video is not going "viral".
