Sam is planning to start a pool cleaning company from his home. he has decided on a radius of 30 miles from his home as a region of operation. after surveying the region of operation, he found that 43% of the homes in the region have a swimming pool. if there are 36,248 homes within a 30 mile radius of sam’s home, approximately how many potential customers does sam have?
a.
1,087
b.
1,559
c.
10,874
d.
15,587
the answer is d

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

27 +27 or 27times 2=54

the diffrence is 0
