if the number in the parentheses is less than 1, is not growth but Decay, thus a negative rate, or namely is decreasing by that much per cycle.
Part A: Max volume = Volume of container = 13 in x 7 in x 6 in = 546 in^3
Part B: 1 cup = 14.4375 in^3
14 cups = 14.4375 in^3 x 7 = 202.125 in^3
Part C: Height of water = (202.125 in^3)/(13 in x 7 in) = 2.22 in.
