Question

Shane plants a 6-inch tomato plant in his garden. The plant grows by about 12% per week for several months. Which function definition represents the height of the tomato plant (in inches) as a function of the number of weeks, t since the tomato plant was planted?

Answer 1

`f(t)=6(1.12^t)`

Explanation:

every week the plant grows by 12%, so the ratio is 1.12. the original height of the plant is 6. f(x)=a(b^x) such that a=6, b=1.12, and x=t
