When a social media post "goes viral," it is viewed and shared by a large number of users in a short period of time, until a plurality of social media users are aware of the post.

Question

A certain post goes viral. On the first day, twelve people see the post. After that, the number of people who have seen the post doubles every day.
Which equation below describes the relationship between x, the number of days that have passed, and y, the number of people who have seen the post?
y = 2.12
y 2x + 12
O y = 12x + 2
y = 12.2
None of these

Answer 1

The correct equation that describes the relationship between x (number of days) and y (number of people who have seen the post) in this scenario is: y = 12 * 2^x.

Therefore, none of the equations provided match the correct relationship.
