Question

TWO PART
Ellen is playing a video game in which she captures butterflies. There are 3 butterflies onscreen, but the number of butterflies doubles every minute. After 4 minutes, she was able to capture 7 of the butterflies.
A)LOOK FOR A PATTERN. Write an expression for the number of butterflies after 4 minutes. Use a power of 2 in your answer.
B)Write an expression for the number of butterflies remaining after Ellen captured the 7 butterflies. Evaluate the expression.
THANK YOU!

Answer 1

Pattern:

at start: 3 butterflies
after one minute: 3(2) = 6 butterflies
after two minutes: 3(2)(2) = 3(2^2) butterflies
after three minutes : 3(2^3) butterflies

after four minutes : 3(2^4) butterflies

but at that point she captured 7 of them
after 4 min, number on screen = 3(2^4) - 7
= 3(16) - 7
= 48-7
= 41

Answer 9

Thank you. That was very helpful. Idk what y’all are talking about. This WAS useful... To me anyways

Answer 10

THIS WAS NOT THAT HELPFUL YA KNOW! whomever made this clearly had no brains.

Answer 11

3 x (2 to the power of 4) - 7 = (48 - 7) = 41

This is what should be the answer,
let me explain so PEMDAS 2^4= 2x2=4x2=8x2=16 x 3 = 48<--- total amount of butterflies. BUT Ellen degeneres already stole 7, so we get the total butterflies
48
and get the ones she stole
7
and subtract
48-7= 41

Yay! now this is some legit work you can copy off of
