Question
100%

1. Using the functions for each student, predict how many shares each student's post will be received on Day 3 and then on Day 10. Justify your answers.

2. If Amber decides to mail copies of her photo to the 45 residents of her grandmother's assisted living facility, the new function representing her photo shares is f(x) = 3(4)x + 45. How does this graph compare with the original graph of Amber's photo share?

3. Based on your results, which students' post travels the fastest? How is this shown in the equation form of the functions?

Work Independently
How much do you share on social media? Do you have accounts linked to your computer, phone, and tablet? The average teen spends around
five hours per day online, and checks his or her social media account about 10 times each day.
When an image or post is shared publicly, some students are surprised at how quickly their information travels across the Internet. The scary
part is that nothing online is really private. All it takes is one friend sharing your photo or updates with the public to create a very public viral
trend.
For this project, you will use what you have learned about exponential functions to study what happens if a social media post is shared publicly.
