Johnny has been planting blueberries in a garden in his back yard. Johnny started with blueberries in one square foot of the garden modeled by the function s(x)=10. He is allowed to convert more of the garden with each additional square foot he maintains allows his blueberry plants to produce more by a rate of a(x)=1.4^x-2.

Explain to Johnny how to creat an equation to predict the number of blueberries he can expect based on the number of square ft. he maintains. Describe how to determine the number of blueberries he will grow in 5 sq. ft.

Is the equation (10) 1.4^x-2?

anonymous · Answer

If anyone can assist me i would be very grateful!

domebotnos · Answer

It might be 1.4^x-2 + 10, but I am not sure... @ParthKohli

anonymous · Answer

I thought rate was multiplied. I originally had it as addition and changed iy based on the words "rate"

domebotnos · Answer

I'm not sure, I was only thinking that 1.4^x-2 was the rate to get other squares and then you would have to add that to the original amount of ten squares. :/
