Q. 11. In a game show, players play multiple rounds to score points. Each round has 22 times as many points available as the previous round.\newline\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|}\newline\hline round & 00 & 11 & 22 & 33 & n \\\newline\hline points & 1515 & 3030 & 6060 & 120120 & \\\newline\hline\newline\end{tabular}\newlineWite an a n equation that shows the number of points available, p p , in round n n of the game show?
  1. Identify Pattern: Notice the pattern in the points for each round. Each round has double the points of the previous one.
  2. Calculate Points for Each Round: The first round (round 00) has 1515 points. So, round 11 has 15×215 \times 2 points, round 22 has 15×2×215 \times 2 \times 2 points, and so on.
  3. Write Equation: Write the equation using the pattern. Since each round doubles the points, we can use 22 raised to the power of the round number, multiplied by the initial points.\newlinep=15×(2n)p = 15 \times (2^n)
