Amarine biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of fish. she writes the following equation to show the length of the fish, f(m), in cm, after m months:

f(m) = 3(1.09)m

part a: when the marine biologist concluded her study, the length of the fish was approximately 5.98 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(m) represent? (2 points)

part c: what is the average rate of change of the function f(m) from m = 2 to m = 8, and what does it represent? (4 points)

(10 points)

d is the only accurate one

step-by-step explanation:

"standard form:

3x2 + 14x − 10 = 0

solutions based on quadratic formula:

x1   = −14 − √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 − 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ −5.296

x2   = −14 + √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 + 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ 0.629
