Question 110 ptsUSE OR LOOK FOR A PATTERN NameOn July 5, in the area around Center Village, there was great excitement. Sixdifferent people reported to the police that they had seen Bigfoot, the large hairycreature sometimes seen but never captured. The next day, twice as many peoplecalled the police, sure they had seen the creature. Each day the police receivedtwice as many calls as the day before. After they got a total of more than 300calls, the police took the phone off the hook! On what day did the police receivetheir 300th call?

Respuesta :

from the information you can deduce that the first day you receive 6 calls,

the second day you receive twice calls..

[tex]6\cdot2=12\text{ calls}[/tex]

the third day you receive twice calls that the latest day, then...

[tex]12\cdot2=24\text{ calls}\ldots[/tex]

and so on... this is a progretion and we need find what day that progretion becomes 300 calls.. we can put that progretion in a table to understand better..

Finally, the seventh day, the police received more than 300 calls!
