The number of visitors to a certain Web site triples every month. The number of visitors is

Question

modeled by the expression 8100 * 3m, where m is the number of months after the number of
visitors was measured. Evaluate the expression for m = -4. What does the value of the
expression represent in the situation?

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression for m = -4, we substitute -4 into the expression:

8100 * 3(-4)

= 8100 * 3(-4)

= 8100 * 3^(-4)

= 8100 * (1/3)^4

= 8100 * (1/81)

= 100

The value of the expression represents the number of visitors to the website after 4 months have passed since the number of visitors was measured. In this case, the value is 100.

Answer 3

The value of the expression, which is 100, represents the number of visitors to the website "after" the number of visitors was measured.

Answer 4

SO how many visitors were there for how many months

Answer 5

The expression in the situation is 8100 * 3m, where m represents the number of months after the number of visitors was measured.

If we evaluate the expression for m = -4, the value of the expression is 100.

Therefore, 100 visitors were measured after 4 months.
