Suppose a computer virus begins by infecting 8 computers in the first hour after it is released. Each hour after that, each newly infected computer causes 8 more computers to become infected. The function y = 8x models this situation. Make a table with integer values of x from 1 to 4 in the space below. X = hour then 8X is number of computers infected

Kolby Whitehead · Answer 1

Let's make the table by plugging in values for x and finding what we get for y:

x=1

y = 8*1 = 8

x=2

y = 8 * 2 = 16

x=3

y = 8*3 = 24

x = 4

y = 8*4 = 32

Our ordered pairs are: (1,8), (2,16), (3,24), (4,32)

As a table:

x 1 2 3 4

y 8 16 24 32
