In a game show, players play multiple rounds to score points. Each round has 3 times as many points available as the previous round.




Round 0 1 2 3 n

Points 25 75 225 675



Which equation shows the number of points available, p, in round n of the game show?

Answer:

[tex]p = 25(3)^n[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Round 0 1 2 3

Points 25 75 225 675

Required

Determine the equation

Let n = rounds and p = points.

So, we have:

[tex](n_1,p_1) = (0,25)[/tex]

[tex](n_2,p_2) = (1,75)[/tex]

[tex](n_2,p_2) = (3,225)[/tex]

The above shows a geometric progression.

So, we solve using

[tex]p = ab^n[/tex]

In [tex](n_1,p_1) = (0,25)[/tex]

n = 0 and p = 25

Substitute these values in [tex]p = ab^n[/tex]

[tex]25 = ab^0[/tex]

[tex]25 = a*1[/tex]

[tex]25 = a[/tex]

[tex]a = 25[/tex]

In [tex](n_2,p_2) = (1,75)[/tex]

n = 1 and p = 75

Substitute these values in [tex]p = ab^n[/tex]

[tex]75 = ab^1[/tex]

[tex]75 = ab[/tex]

Substitute 25 for a

[tex]75 = 25*b[/tex]

Make b the subject

[tex]b = \frac{75}{25}[/tex]

[tex]b = 3[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]a = 25[/tex] and [tex]b = 3[/tex]

The equation [tex]p = ab^n[/tex] becomes

[tex]p = 25(3)^n[/tex]

     Equation representing the number of points 'P' in 'n' games will be [tex]P=25(3)^{n}[/tex].

Explicit formula of the Geometric sequence:

  • a, ar, ar², ar³........arⁿ

       There is a common ratio of 'r' in each successive term to the

       previous term.

       Therefore, it's a geometric sequence.

  • Explicit formula of a geometric sequence is given by,

       [tex]T_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex] (For n ≥ 1)

       Here, [tex]a=[/tex] First term

       [tex]r=[/tex] Common ratio

       [tex]n=[/tex] nth term

Given in the table,

  • Common ratio (r) of any successive term to the previous term,

        [tex]r=\frac{75}{25}=3[/tex]

  • First term of the sequence 'a' = 25

Explicit formula of the sequence will be,

[tex]P=25(3)^{n}[/tex] [For n ≥ 0]

       Therefore, equation representing the number of points 'P' in 'n' games will be [tex]P=25(3)^{n}[/tex].
