Jerry started doing sit-ups every day. The first day he did 19 sit-ups. Every day after that he did 2 more sit- ups than he had done the previous day. Today Jerry did 41 sit-ups. Write an equation that could be solved
to find the number of days Jerry has been doing sit-ups, not counting the first day. Let n represent the
number of days.
An equation that can help Jerry to find the number of days he has been doing sit-ups is given by
+

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

step-by-step explanation:

left be aligning the decimal points is required to not required see the number of digits to the right

your answer would be b
