Layne sends an email to 7 people and those 7 people send the email to 7 more people, and so on. Write an expression to show the number of people who will receive the email after the fifth round.
7^n =7^5=16807
after 1st round 7 people receive email
after 2nd round 7^2 or 49 receive email
after 3rd round 6^3 or 343 receive email
after 4th round 7^4 or 2401 receive email
after 5th round ...........16807 receive email
number receiving email in 5th round = 7^5
are you telling the truth because this is for a test if you are well i'm sorry for the rude commet
To figure out the number of people who will receive the email after the fifth round, we need to understand the pattern.
In the first round, Layne sends the email to 7 people.
In the second round, each of the 7 people who received the email in the first round sends it to 7 more people, resulting in 7 x 7 = 49 people.
In the third round, each of the 49 people sends the email to 7 more people, resulting in 49 x 7 = 343 people.
In the fourth round, each of the 343 people sends the email to 7 more people, resulting in 343 x 7 = 2401 people.
In the fifth round, each of the 2401 people sends the email to 7 more people, resulting in 2401 x 7 = 16807 people.
Therefore, the number of people who will receive the email after the fifth round is 16,807.
Expressing this as an equation, we can use exponentiation to generalize the pattern:
Number of people = 7^5
In this case, the base of the exponent is 7 because each person sends the email to 7 more people in every round. The exponent is 5 because we are calculating the number of people after the fifth round.
