The number of customers at a new taco truck triples every day for a week. the function f(x) = 3^x represents the number of customers on day x. on what day was there 243 customers? write an equation to solve the problem.

Equation to solve the problem :

There was 243 customers on 5th day .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of customers at a new taco truck triples every day for a week. the function represents the number of customers on day x.

Substitute f(x) =243 in the given equation , we get

Also, we know that

The bases are same it implies the exponents must be equal.

Hence, There was 243 customers on 5th day .

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

i'll be glad to : )
