Final answer:
To find the three starting points for the given function m(c) = 2(4.4)^(c+7.1)-2, substitute different values of c into the function: c = 0, c = 1, and c = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, the given function is m(c) = 2(4.4)(c+7.1) - 2. To find the three starting points, we need to substitute different values of c into the function. Let's choose three values for c: c = 0, c = 1, and c = -1.
For c = 0, m(0) = 2(4.4)(0+7.1) - 2 = 2(4.4)7.1 - 2 ≈ 4.334e7 - 2 ≈ 4.334e7.
For c = 1, m(1) = 2(4.4)(1+7.1) - 2 = 2(4.4)8.1 - 2 ≈ 1.195e8 - 2 ≈ 1.195e8.
For c = -1, m(-1) = 2(4.4)(-1+7.1) - 2 = 2(4.4)6.1 - 2 ≈ 1.0289e6 - 2 ≈ 1.0289e6.
