18bags
Look if 1=3 2=9 3= 18 so he uses 18 bags!
When an exponential function is given as
f(x)=ab^x, and
knowing that b^0=1, that means that
f(0)=ab^0=a value of function when x=0, or the initial value.
In the case of
f(x)=20.b^x, f(0)=20.b^0 = 20 (initial value)
If b=1.2, then the hourly growth rate is (1.2-1)=0.2=20%.
If b=1.85, then the hourly growth rate is (1.85-1)=0.85=85%.
Answer:
It will take at least 15 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
12w+31 ≥ 205
Subtract 31 from each side
12w+31-31 ≥ 205-31
12w ≥ 174
Divide each side by 12
12w/12 ≥ 174/12
w ≥ 14.5
Rounding up to the nearest integer
w ≥ 15
It will take at least 15 weeks
B. Five cubed because there at 5 2s there and 2*2*2*2*2 would be the same thing as saying 5^2
