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 in the space below.

ok

anonymous · Answer

$x $    $ f(x)$
$1$         $8^1=8$
$2$         $8^2=64$
$3$         $8^3=512$
$4$        $8^4=4096$

anonymous · Answer

is that the way you write the table?

anonymous · Answer

that is one way, yes

anonymous · Answer

put the $x$ first and the $y$ second
