1. In a game show, players play multiple rounds to score points. Each round has 2 times as many points available as the previous round.\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|}\hline round & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & n \\\hline points & 15 & 30 & 60 & 120 & \\\hline\end{tabular}Wite an equation that shows the number of points available, p, in round n of the game show?
Q. 1. In a game show, players play multiple rounds to score points. Each round has 2 times as many points available as the previous round.\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|}\hline round & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & n \\\hline points & 15 & 30 & 60 & 120 & \\\hline\end{tabular}Wite an equation that shows the number of points available, p, in round n of the game show?
Identify Pattern: Notice the pattern in the points for each round. Each round has double the points of the previous one.
Calculate Points for Each Round: The first round (round 0) has 15 points. So, round 1 has 15×2 points, round 2 has 15×2×2 points, and so on.
Write Equation: Write the equation using the pattern. Since each round doubles the points, we can use 2 raised to the power of the round number, multiplied by the initial points.p=15×(2n)
