Yall help with this question pls 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) = 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? (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 = 1 to n = 5, and what does it represent? (4 points)

Step-by-step explanation:

11.04 = 10(1.02)^n

1.104 = 1.02^n

ln 1.104 = ln 1.02^n

ln 1.104 = n ln 1.02

n = ln 1.104/ ln 1.02

n = 4.99630409516

4.99 can be rounded to 5.

So a reasonable domain would be 0 ≤ x < 5

PART B)

f(0) = 10(1.02)^0

f(0) = 10(1)

f(0) = 10

The y-intercept represents the height of the plant when they began the experiment.

f(1) = 10(1.02)^1

f(1) = 10(1.02)

f(1) = 10.2

(1, 10.2)

f(5) = 10(1.02)^5

f(5) = 10(1.1040808)

f(5) = 11.040808

f(1)=10(1.02)^1

f(1)=10.2

Average rate= (fn2-fn1)/(n2-n1)

                     =11.04-10.2/(5-1)

                    =0.22

the average rate of change of the function f(n) from n = 1 to n = 5 is 0.22.  

answer

see attachment

explanation

the given function is

this function has y-intercept at

-4 and a slope of 2.

note that, the graph has a positive slope.

the graph that represents this function is the straight line that moves upward from left to right.

the graph touches the y-axis at -4.

the correct choice is the graph shown in the attachment.
