He should have esrned Im138 points

Answer: 128 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  He earns 1 point for his first workout. If he works out the next day, he earns double the points of the previous day.

Therefore If x represents number of days, and y represents number of points then,

The function which shows this situation is,

[tex]y =2^{x-1}[/tex]

Thus, when we talk about his point on day 8,

Then, x=8 , [tex]y =2^{8-1}[/tex]= [tex]2^7[/tex] = 128 points.

Therefore, He will earn 128 points On Day 8.
