Akiba started studying how the number of branches on his tree changes over time. The relationship between the elapsed time, ttt, in years, since Akiba started studying his tree, and the total number of its branches, N(t)N(t)N, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, is modeled by the following function:
N(t)=42⋅(1.75)t
Complete the following sentence about the yearly percent change in the number of branches.
Every year,
\%%percent of branches are

the total number of branches.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

answer: what are the following choices
