Question

Please please help for brainlist i beg !!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

5(3)^(n-1)

a*b^n

5 is the second value (n-1), so a=5

the amount triples (*3) every minute, so b=3

Answer 2

D, or an = 5(3)^n-1, is correct!

Let’s break this down...

5 is the number of files that we have in the first minute. The 3 triples the 5. Since there is an exponent, the growth is exponential and will always triple the product before it.

Hope this helps :)
