Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to find the value of g(3) g(3) given the initial value g(0)=94 g(0) = 94 and the information that for each increase in x x by 11, g(x) g(x) decreases to 25% of its previous value.

2. Relevant Concepts

The function experiences exponential decay. If g(x) g(x) is the value of the function at a specific x x , then: g(x+11)=0.25g(x) g(x + 11) = 0.25 \cdot g(x)

3. Analysis and Detail

  1. At g(0)=94 g(0) = 94 , we set x=0 x = 0 .
  2. Thus, g(11)=0.25g(0)=0.2594=23.5 g(11) = 0.25 \cdot g(0) = 0.25 \cdot 94 = 23.5 .
  3. Now calculate g(22) g(22) : g(22)=0.25g(11)=0.2523.5=5.875 g(22) = 0.25 \cdot g(11) = 0.25 \cdot 23.5 = 5.875
  4. Next, calculate g(33) g(33) : g(33)=0.25g(22)=0.255.875=1.46875 g(33) = 0.25 \cdot g(22) = 0.25 \cdot 5.875 = 1.46875

Since g(x) g(x) changes significantly for each 11-unit increase, we need to interpolate to find g(3) g(3) . We can estimate it using decay from g(0) g(0) to g(11) g(11) :

  • The distance from 0 to 11 is 11 units, while we need the value at 3, so: Fraction of the way to g(11)=311 \text{Fraction of the way to } g(11) = \frac{3}{11}

4. Verify and Summarize

  1. We'll find the value of the function at some intermediate distance: g(3)g(0)+(311×(g(11)g(0))) g(3) \approx g(0) + \left( \frac{3}{11} \times (g(11) - g(0)) \right) g(11)g(0)=23.594=70.5 g(11) - g(0) = 23.5 - 94 = -70.5 Thus, g(3)94+(311×(70.5))=9419.2574.75 g(3) \approx 94 + \left( \frac{3}{11} \times (-70.5) \right) = 94 - 19.25 \approx 74.75

Final Answer

The value of g(3) g(3) is approximately 74.75.
