Well every time it gets rid of a shell it grows 1 1/3 times larger. So so to see how much it grows after the first time you say
1 cm * 1 1/3 = 1 1/3 cm
to get the next one you do the same
1 1/3 cm * 1 1/3 cm = 16/9
It will keep going multiplying by 1 1/3. So so we can say in an equation that the
(initial size) * 1 1/3 *(number of shells) = length
Or 1cm * 1 1/3 * n = L
We we know the final length is 10cm
So 1 1/3 * n = 10cm
n = 7.5shells
so approximately 7 or 8 shells
Answer:
a. exponential growth
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation is y = 120000(1.03)^x
f(x)=a(1+r)^{x}
4,6,8 are being counted by twos so the next one is 10
4•3= 12, 6+3=9, 8-3=6, the next operation I assume would be division so 10/3= 3.34
