Question

Compute the distance Mark will run if he continues using the formula, y = 10(1.1)x, for 52 weeks (one year). Does this distance seem reasonable?

A. yes
B. no

Answer 1

x exponent

Answer 2

does it represent weeks or years

Answer 3

the x exponent represents both i think bc 52 weeks is one year isnt it?

Answer 4

yes but if you use years then you would use 1 versus 52(weeks)

Answer 5

usually years unless otherwise stated in problem

Answer 6

So then lets use 52 weeks (: for the answer i got 1291.3miles in 52 weeks

Answer 7

if you use 52 then you should get 1420.42932

Answer 8

Hmmmm so what do you think the answer would be? (:

Answer 9

what are the units

Answer 10

seems reasonable from what info you gave and if we use 52

Answer 11

alright so the answer would be true? >.< kinda confused lol

Answer 12

If y is the distance traveled in x weeks, then, as btm said, the distance traveled is:
\[y=10(1.1)^{52}\approx1,420\]
So, Mark would run 1420 length unit in 52 weeks.
