Question

A 10-inch sunflower is planted in a garden and the height of the sunflower increases exponentially. The height of the sunflower increases by 22% every 5 days. What is the 5-day growth factor for the height of the sunflower

Answer 1

Answer:

5-day growth factor is 27.027-inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

the initial height of the sunflower = 10-inch

the rate at which the height increases = 22%

time of growth = 5 days

To calculate 5-days growth factor, we apply the formula below, since it grows exponentially;

$=10-inch [1+\frac{22}{100}] ^5\\\\= 10-inch(2.7027)\\\\= 27.027-inch$

Therefore, 5 day growth factor is 27.027-inch
