Answer:

[tex]600, 900, 1350[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 400[/tex] -- initial subscribers

[tex]b = 1.5[/tex] -- growth factor

Required

Determine the number of subscribers in the next three months

To do this, we make use of:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

In this case:

x is the number of months

y is the number of subscribers

So:

when x = 1;

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]y = 400 * 1.5^1[/tex]

[tex]y = 400 * 1.5[/tex]

[tex]y = 600[/tex]

when x = 2

[tex]y = 400 * 1.5^2[/tex]

[tex]y = 400 * 2.25[/tex]

[tex]y = 900[/tex]

when x= 3

[tex]y = 400 * 1.5^3[/tex]

[tex]y = 400 * 3.375[/tex]

[tex]y = 1350[/tex]

So, the next three number of subscribers is:

[tex]600, 900, 1350[/tex]
