Question

PLEASE HELP ME OUT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which situation could be modeled by the equation y=1.5(1.01)x?

a.an oak tree that starts out 1.5 feet tall and grows by 1% naturally.

b.an oak tree that starts out 1.5 feet tall and grows by 1.01 feet annually.

c. a tuna that starts out at 1.01 feet long and grows by 50% annually

d. a tuna that starts out at 1.01 feet long and grows by 1.5 feet annually.

Answer 1

The answer is A because the equation is exponential and the .01 is how much something grows by.
B and D are both linear models because they grow by the same amount every year which is not what the question wants
C is wrong its using 1.5 as the growth not 1.01
