Question

on a bright morning,Delicia observed that her rose garden had one flowers and on the fourth day she saw 27 flowers.If this pattern continues,how many flowers will be there on the 29 th day?Express the answer in exponential form....

Answer 1

First day= 1 flower.
Fourth day = 27 flowers
If it is an arithmetic progression then:
n th day : 7 n -1 flowers
= 7 * 29 - 1 = 202

If it is a geometrical progression then:
n th day: 3^{n - 1} flowers
= 3^28 on 29th day
