Initially, there were only 86 weeds in the garden. The weeds grew at a rate of 8% each week. The following function represents t
he weekly weed growth: f(x) = 86(1.08)x. Rewrite the function to show how quickly the weeds grow each day. f(x) = 86(1.08)7x; grows approximately at a rate of 5.6% daily
f(x) = 86(1.087)x; grows approximately at a rate of 0.56% daily
f(x) = 86(1.01)x; grows approximately at a rate of 0.1% daily
f(x) = 86(1.01)7x; grows approximately at a rate of 1% daily
You were going in the right direction but the problem was that you needed to subtract and not add. The formula should be y-y1 / x-x1 iirc. Hope this helped.
