Suppose a computer virus begins by infecting 8 computers in the first hour after it is released. Each hour after that, each newly infected computer causes 8 more computers to become infected. The function y = 8x models this situation. Make a table with integer values of x from 1 to 4. I'm sorry.. Is there anyone that can dumb this down for me - I've been stupped for at least a half hour on this problem

anonymous · Answer

well after ever hour, 8 computers get infected.

anonymous · Answer

all of those 8 computers get 8 other computers, each infected

anonymous · Answer

so 8*8=8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8

anonymous · Answer

so then just use the numbers from 1 to 4 in for the x value, then make a table showing the interger and product side by side
