Question

Every hour the number of users of a new smartphone app increases by 18 percent. At 1:00 p.m., there were 12,322 users. What exponential equation shows the number of users' x hours after 1:00 p.m.?

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Y is the starting point so it would be y=12322 and it becomes 1.18 because you add 100 to 18

Answer 2

The exponential equation shows the number of users x hours after 1:00 p.m will be y = 12322 (1.18)ˣ. Option A is correct.

What is the percentage?

The quantity of anything is stated as though it were a fraction of a hundred. A fraction of 100 can be used to express the ratio.

The number of users of a new smartphone app increases by %  = 18

a is the number of users at 1:00 p.m = 12,322

The exponential equation shows the number of users x hours after 1:00 p.m. is;

y=a(z)ˣ

Where,

a is the initial value

z is the percentage increment

y is the number of users after the given period

If the initial value of the percentage is 100.The value after the given time;

z = 100 + 18

z = 118

The z in the percentage form is 1.18.

The exponential equation shows the number of users x hours after 1:00 p.m will be y = 12322 (1.18)ˣ.

Hence, option A is correct.
