Question

The function n(d) = 4 • 3d – 1 represents the number of people who receive a newspaper on day d in a delivery schedule.

What does the value 3 represent in this situation?

Deliveries were made for 3 days.

There are 3 people making deliveries.

Three people received a newspaper on the first day in the schedule.

The number of people receiving a newspaper on a given day is 3 times what it was the previous day.

Answer 1

I think A because day d in a delivery schedule

Answer 2

On day one of the delivery schedule, 4*3*1 -1 people received a paper.

So, what would the 3 mean in front of the d?

Answer 3

D

Answer 4

If d = 2, 23 people get a newspaper on day 2 of the delivery schedule.

Answer 5

Three people received a newspaper on the first day in the schedule.

Answer 6

The number of people receiving a newspaper on a given day is 3 times what it was the previous day.

Day 1: 11 papers
Day2: 23

Is 23 = 3 * 11 ?

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

23=3 *11= 33 not 23 so no not a true statment

Answer 9

Are you still there?

Answer 10

Yes.

Would you look and see if the equation is this;

n(d) = 4 • (3d – 1)

I'm just wondering.

Answer 11

no, its not

Answer 12

I don't see any reason to think that either of these is corrrect.

Deliveries were made for 3 days.

There are 3 people making deliveries.

Answer 13

wait The function n(d) =4 •\[3^d-^1\]

Answer 14

i tried to make it where its 4 times 3d -1 but d and 1 up top not on bottom. If that makes since
