On a day, a video was posted online, 5 people watched the video. The next day the number of viewers had doubled. This tend continues each day. Write an equation modeling the views, v, as a function of time. What would be the day when more than 20,000 people will see the video

Day 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be represented with a geometric sequence

Where,

a = 5

Common ratio , r = 2

v(t) = a * r^(t - 1)

v(t) = 5 * 2^(t-1)

20,000 = 5 * 2^(t-1)

Divide both sides by 5

20,000 / 5 = 5 * 2^(t-1) / 5

4,000 = 2^(t-1)

2^12 = 2^(t-1)

12 = t - 1

12 + 1 = t

t = 13 days

What would be the day when more than 20,000 people will see the video

Check:

v(t) = 5 * 2^(t-1)

= 5 * 2^(13-1)

= 5 * 2^12

= 5 * 4,096

= 20,480

Therefore,

The day when more than 20,000 people will see the video is day 13

50
