Devin has been playing a game where he can create towns and help his empire expand. Each town he has allows him to create 1.17 times as many villagers. The game gave Devin eight villagers to start with. Help Devin expand his empire by solving for how many villagers he can create with 16 towns. Then explain to Devin how to create an equation to predict the number of villagers for any number of towns. Show your work and use complete sentences.

Really @rebeccaxhawaii seriously lol

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

@fluttershyK its a legit math question ...

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

OpenStudy (xguardians):

I answered this question like 3 days ago, why u use my name :(

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

you are so self centered not everything is about you ..

y = villagers * towns^1.17

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

thanks ^-^ and devin no you didnt because this is a new lesson

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

can you give me the original formula

OpenStudy (xguardians):

What do you mean?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

what formula did you plug that into

OpenStudy (xguardians):

My brain.

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

i need the formula -.-

OpenStudy (xguardians):

I actually messed up, it's suppose to be y = villagers * 1.17^towns

OpenStudy (xguardians):

What formula? I just made it up.

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

oh okay thanks b

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

wait are you sure? can you explain again @xGuardians

OpenStudy (xguardians):

So you have a base amount of villagers. Think of this equation like that one problem that you did yesterday to find the sum of a sequence. S = 8(1/2)^x Here, we have villagers(growthratio)^villages Where the increased amount of villages increases the growth ratio, hence the villagers increase as well.
