Question

Kyle starts a fundraiser with 43 pennies he recruits all of the player on his baseball team to participate. His goal is to triple the amount of pennies everyday. Assume Kyle meets his goal each day

Use x to represent the number of days and y to represent the total amount of pennies each day

Answer 1

I know this is late but hopefully this helps someone reading this in the future. the answer is y = 43(3)^x

Explanation:

If kyle starts out with with 43, and the amount triples everyday, it would be 3 to the power of x (how many days there are), which would make that the equation. Sorry, if this explanation makes no sense.

Answer 2

Number of Pennies that Kyle have for fundraiser project = 43 pennies

Kyle want to triple the amount of pennies everyday.

So, with the given information If ,

x = Number of days

y= Total amount of pennies each day

The equation which will be exponential , an increasing function is equal to:

`y=3^x* 43\\\\ y=43*3^x`

for,x=0,1,2,3,4,.......is a whole number.
