Q:

(Will award Brainlies & many many points, please help!)Use the graph to write an explicit function to represent the data and determine how much money Shelley earned in week 5.A] f(n) = 5(3)n βˆ’ 1; f(5) = 405B] f(n) = 6(3)n βˆ’ 1; f(5) = 486C] f(n) = 6(3)n; f(5) = 1,458D] f(n) = 6(3)n + 1; f(5) = 4,374

A:
Answer:B] f(n) = 6(3)n βˆ’ 1; f(5) = 486Step-by-step explanation:First, you have to identify which type of relation the points have. From the graph you can tell that it's an exponential growth. The x values change in the same amount every time, in this case by 1. So if the relation is exponential, if we divide the y coordinates you should get the same result every time. 18 / 6 = 354 / 18 = 3162 / 54 = 3So the y value increases 3 times. That means that the next value should be 162*3 = 486.
