A marine biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of fish. She writes the following equation to show the length of the fish, f(m), in cm, after m months: f(m) = 5(1.07)m

Part A: When the marine biologist concluded her study, the length of the fish was approximately 9.19 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(m) represent? (2 points)

Part C: What is the average rate of change of the function f(m) from m = 1 to m = 9, and what does it represent? (4 points)

(10 points)

The points that you put in to a Q is split in half.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if u put 10 pts into a Q, the person who answers it gets 5pts.

Understand?

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
