Activity 2

Direction: Read the situation carefully then answer the guide questions.

Mark is the eldest among 8 siblings. In order to help his parents, he sells
seafood barbecue after class everyday. Sam and Leo his friends bought seafood
barbecue and they found it delicious. Along the way, they met their four friends and
encouraged them to buy. Since they found it delicious too, the four of them
encouraged another two persons each. If the pattern continues, how will you
describe the number of people bought Mark’s seafood barbecues?

Guide questions:
1. How do you describe Mark?
2. If you were in his situation, will you do the same? Why?
3. In what other ways can you help your parents?
4. How do you describe Mark’s family? What is his parents’
occupation?
5. When time comes to have your own family, what ideal family
would you like to have? Why?
6. Show the pattern using the table of values.
7. Based from the table, what equation can you generate?
(Expected answer: exponential equation)
8. Do you have any idea on how to solve exponential equations?
