Ascientist 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) = 10(1.02)^n
part a: when the scientist concluded his study, the height of the plant was approximately 11.04 cm. what is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function?
part b: what does the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(n) represent?
part c: what is the average rate of change of the function f(n) from n = 1 to n = 5 and what does it represent?

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
