f(n) = 10(1.02)n
Part A: When the scientist concluded his study, the height of the plant was approximately 11.04 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(n) represent? (2 points)
Part C: What is the average rate of change of the function f(n) from n = 1 to n = 5, and what does it represent? (4 points)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
11.04 = 10(1.02)^n
1.104 = 1.02^n
ln 1.104 = ln 1.02^n
ln 1.104 = n ln 1.02
n = ln 1.104/ ln 1.02
n = 4.99630409516
4.99 can be rounded to 5.
So a reasonable domain would be 0 ≤ x < 5
PART B)
f(0) = 10(1.02)^0
f(0) = 10(1)
f(0) = 10
The y-intercept represents the height of the plant when they began the experiment.
f(1) = 10(1.02)^1
f(1) = 10(1.02)
f(1) = 10.2
(1, 10.2)
f(5) = 10(1.02)^5
f(5) = 10(1.1040808)
f(5) = 11.040808
f(1)=10(1.02)^1
f(1)=10.2
Average rate= (fn2-fn1)/(n2-n1)
=11.04-10.2/(5-1)
=0.22
the average rate of change of the function f(n) from n = 1 to n = 5 is 0.22.
