Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form
where
a is the initial value or y-intercept
b is the base of the exponential function
r is the rate in decimal form
b=(1+r)
In this problem we have
x ----> the number of days
x ----> the number of daysy ----> the number of shoppers
a=120
r=10%=10/100=0.10
b=1+0.10=1.10
substitute the values
y=120(1.10)^{x}y=120(1.10) x
First day
y=120y=120
Second day
For x=1 day
substitute the value of x in the equation and solve for y
y=120(1.10)^{1}=132y=120(1.10) 1=132
Third day
For x=2 days
y=120(1.10)^{2}=145y=120(1.10) 2 =145
Fourth day
For x=3 days
y=120(1.10)^{3}=160y=120(1.10) 3=160
Fifth day
For x=4 days
y=120(1.10)^{4}=176y=120(1.10) 4 =176
Sixth day
For x=5 days
y=120(1.10)^{5}=193y=120(1.10) 5 =193
Seventh day
For x=6 days
y=120(1.10)^{6}=213y=120(1.10) 6 =213
Adds the numbers
120+132+145+160+176+193+213=1,139120+132+145+160+176+193+213=1,139
