a. The surface area is 2828.25 cm^2

b. The radius is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a beachball is modeled by the function

f(x)=ax^2

Where x is the radius of the beachball.

It's given that a beachball of radius 12 cm has a surface area of 1809.56 cm^2

This information will allow us to find the value of a by substituting in the model:

1809.56=a*12^2=144a

Dividing by 144:

a = 1809.56/144

a = 12.57

The model is now:

f(x)=12.57x^2

Now we can solve parts a and b:

a . Find the surface area of a beachball of radius x=15 cm

f(15)=12.57*15^2

f(15)=2828.25

The surface area is 2828.25 cm^2

b. Find the radius of a beachball with a surface area of 804.25 cm^2

We need to solve:

804.25 = 12.57x^2

Dividing by 12.57:

$x^2=804.25/12.57\approx 64$

Thus:

$x=\sqrt{64}$

x=8 cm

The radius is 8 cm

part a

answer: a reasonable domain is $0 \le n \le 10$ where n is a real number. so n can be between 0 and 10. both endpoints are included.

work shown:

n is the number of days after the experiment starts. the smallest n can be is n = 0 which means that 0 days have gone by, and we're at the start. to find out how large n should be, then replace f(n) with 16.13 and solve for n. use logarithms to isolate the exponent.

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13 = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13/12 = (1.03)^n

1.34416666666667 = (1.03)^n

(1.03)^n = 1.34416666666667

log[ (1.03)^n ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n*log[ 1.03 ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]/log[ 1.03 ]

n = 10.0062999823929

this rounds to n = 10 which is fairly close but not 100% perfect. so this is the largest n can be.

note: if you plug n = 10 into f(n), you'll get roughly 16.127 which rounds to 16.13 (this comes up again in part c)

=====================================

part b

answer: the y intercept is 12. it represents the starting height of the plant in cm.

work shown:

plug n = 0 into the f(n) function. simplify

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(0) = 12*(1.03)^0

f(0) = 12*(1)

f(0) = 12

on day n = 0, aka the starting point, the height f(n) is 12 cm

=====================================

part c

answer: the average rate of change is approximately 0.43061036458991 (round however you need to). this represents the average growth rate from day n = 3 to day n = 10. so the plant grew roughly 0.43 cm per day during this timespan, assuming you round to 2 decimal places.

work shown:

compute f(3)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(3) = 12*(1.03)^3

f(3) = 13.112724 < we'll use this later

compute f(10)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(10) = 12*(1.03)^10

f(10) = 16.1269965521294 < we'll use this later

now use the formula below with a = 3 and b = 10

aroc = average rate of change

aroc = [ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]

aroc = [ f(10) - f(3) ]/[ 10 - 3 ]

aroc = (16.1269965521294 - 13.112724)/(10 - 3)

aroc = 3.0142725521294/7

aroc = 0.43061036458991

round this however you need to

note: the plant grew approximately 3.01 cm over 7 days, so roughly 0.43 cm per day is the average growth rate (if you were to round to 2 decimal places).
