Paul is gathering data about moss growth in a local forest. he measured an area of 11 square centimeters on one particular tree and will come back in 6 months to measure the growth of the moss. if the area covered by moss multiplies by one and a half times each month, approximately how much area will the moss cover when paul returns? a. 125.3 cm2 b. 16.5 cm2 c. 99.1 cm2 d. 14.7 cm2 givin away 15 points ! also the brainiest answer pls asap !

Using the exponential growth formula A = P(1+r)^t

P is the starting value ( 11 square cm)

r is the rate ( 1.5 means a 50% growth, so rate would be 0.50)

t is the amount of time ( 6 months)

Now you have:

A = 11(1+0.5)^6

A = 11(1.5)^6

A = 125.3 cm^2

The answer is A.

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
