Answer:

  2187

Step-by-step explanation:

This geometric sequence has a first term of 1 and a common ratio of 3. Its general term can be written as ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

  an = 3^(n-1)

Then the 8th term is ...

  a8 = 3^(8-1) = 2187

Using the given table of an exponential function, determine the growth/decay factor as well as the rate of increase/decrease. Ty
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The growth rate is 0.6

The growth factor is 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, the exponential equation can be written as;

y = a(1 + r)^x

Where a is the initial value of 100

r is the growth rate

So let us form equations;

160 = 100(1 + r)^1 •••••(i)

Also;

256 = 100(1 + r)^2 •••••••(ii)

Divide equation ii by i

256/160 = 1 + r

1.6 = 1 + r

r = 1.6-1

r = 0.6

A) the slope of the equation is 5, the y intercept is 10. 
b) the rate of change is just the slope, so 5 but it means that they are picking 5 berries over that period of time. the initial amount is just the y intercept which is 10. this is just how many berries you start with.
