Question

A scientist is studying the growth of a particular species of plant. He writes the following equation to show the height of the plant f(n), in cm, after n days:

f(n) = 12(1.03)n

Part A: When the scientist concluded his study, the height of the plant was approximately 16.13 cm. What is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function? (4 points)

Part B: What does the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(n) represent? (2 points)

Part C: What is the average rate of change of the function f(n) from n = 3 to n = 10, and what does it represent? (4 points

Answer 2

hey im here

Answer 3

you are missing exponents on this equation
f(n) = 12(1.03)n

Answer 4

What do you mean?

Answer 5

i think your equation is wrong

Answer 6

it is correctly wrriten

Answer 7

are you absolutely sure, because, they do not ask growth rate for non exponential equations

Answer 8

f(n) = 12(1.03)^n

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

mhm

Answer 12

Ok so what is next?

Answer 13

now lets do part A
what height did the plant end at

Answer 14

16.13cm

Answer 15

16.13 = 12(1.03)^n
so we have find out what day this was

Answer 16

this will tell us approximately how high you want to make our domain on the n axis
