Question

A video game sets the points needed to reach the next level based on the function g(x) = 8(2)^x + 1, where x is the current level. The hardest setting promises to multiply the points needed in each level according to the function h(x) = 3x. How many points will a player need on the hardest setting of level 5?

Answer 1

is it \( \large 8(2)^{x+1} \) or \(\large 8(2)^x + 1\)

Answer 2

the first one

Answer 3

so the number of points at level 5 would be:
\(\large g(5) = 8(2)^{5+1}=8(2)^6=512\)

But, it says that it also multiplies the points at each level by the function \(h(x)=3x\)
So, \(h(5)=3(5)=15\)

Thus, it will multiply 512 by 15 = 7680
