Question

@kevin HELP

Answer 1

Hey
i need help with this i was thinking to create a new function let me know your thoughts i will provide my "new function" in the next reply

Answer 2

I tried..
Sorry I'm sleepy..

Answer 3

\[l(x) = 20(1.2^(x-1))\] would that work to predict ?

Answer 4

it is fine Thanks for helping tho

Answer 6

Answer 7

Let the out final function be f(x).
So, at f(1), 1 square foot, he was 20 strawberries.
f(x) = 20 + .....
And for every square foot more, we will add that to f(x) to figure out the amount of strawberries at x square feet.
f(x) = 20 + 1.2(x-1)....
f(1) = 20 + 1.2(1-1) = 20
That's what I got..

Answer 8

why did you added 20 shouldn't it be multiplied?

Answer 9

NOTE: Function a(x) is = \[1.2^{x-1}\]

Answer 10

I do know that. You're just plugging in values as is.

Answer 11

It's geometry series,
you can find how many strowberries are using formula :

20 x (2^15 - 1)/ (2 - 1)

Answer 12

can you provide explanation i need to add it in the answer

Answer 13

Original formula is

a x (r^n - 1) / (r - )
a = first sequence
r = ratio
n = amount of sequence

As you can see the first strawberries planted are 20 fruits, it's become the first sequence.

The ratio, you can find it in the question -> a(x) = 1.2^x-1 with 2 is a ratio.

Answer 14

it's a x (r^n - 1) / (r - 1)

Answer 15

badly scripted question though IMHO

taking it literally, you really should apply the exponential growth to all squares once you add one; and in practise it presumably models the attractiveness of the entire plot to pollinators blah blah so that would make sense.
