Answer:

an= a1 +(n-1)*4

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 1, a2 =5, a3 = 9, a4= 13,... an= ?

we see that each term is getting bigger so usually that will happen because of addition or multiplication-in our case add 4 to previous term

a1 = 1,

a2 = a1+(2-1) 4 = 1+4 = 5,

a3 = a1 + (3-1)*4 = a1+8 = 1 + 8 = 9,

a4= a1 + (4-1)*4 = a1 + 12 = 1+12= 13,

...

an= a1 +(n-1)*4

Tobias sent a chain letter to his friends, asking them to forward the letter to more friends. The number of people who receive t

malfutka [58]

Answer:

$P(t)=37\times (4)^{(t/9.1)}$

Explanation:

The number of emails is multiplied by 4 every 9.1 weeks.

Thus, since Tobias initially sent the chain letter to 37 friends, the number of letters will grow as per this geometric series:

Start: 37 letters

In 9.1 weeks: 37 × 4

In 2 × 9.1 weeks: 37 × (4)²

In 3 × 9.1 weeks: 37 × (4)³

As you see, the exponent is the number of weeks divided by 9.1

Thus, if your variable is the number of weeks, t, then the exponent is t/9.1

And the exponential function, P(t) will be:

$P(t)=37\times (4)^{(t/9.1)}$
