Marta’s mother shared a funny video of their cat on the Internet. The total number of people who had viewed the video over the first 30 days could be modeled using the function f(x) = 33(1.3)x where x is the number of days the video has been online.

Question

About how many people had viewed the video once it had been online for 20 days?

190
858
6,271
86,460

Answer 1

To find out how many people had viewed the video once it had been online for 20 days, we can plug in x=20 into the function f(x) = 33(1.3)^x:

f(20) = 33(1.3)^20
f(20) = 33(29.7463)
f(20) = 982.0509

So, about 982 people had viewed the video once it had been online for 20 days.

None of the given answer choices are close to this number.
