Question

PLESE HELP 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

14.7 cm2



99.1 cm2



125.3 cm2



16.5 cm2

Answer 1

the answer is c 125.3

Answer 2

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Using the formula for exponential growth,

`y=a(1+r)^x`

r is given s 1.5 times means the growth rate is 50% growth means r = 0.5

`y=11(1+0.5)^6`

`y=11*1.5^6`

`y=11*11.390625`

`y=125.296875`

`y=125.30`

So, the area moss will cover is 125.30 square cm : Answer

Hope it will help :)
