The function f(t) = 3(1 + 0.5)^nt models the weight in pounds of an alligator each year from its birth. Based on the function, w

<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is: 50% (0.5)
<h2>Why?</h2>Exponential growth equations are use to predict the growth (in function of time) using proportional information.
We can calculate the exponential growth using the following formula:
Where,
S, is the starting value
r, is the growth rate
t, is the time
So, we are given the function:
Where,
f(t), is the function,
3, is the starting value (lb)
0.5 (50%) is the growth rate
nt, is the time elapsed.
Hence,
From the given function, we know that the growth rate is equal to 0.5, and it's equal to 50%.
We can turn the growth rate given in real numbers to percent value by multiplying by 100
So, the growth rate is 50%.
Have a nice day!

The polynomial with 6 roots is the one of degree 6, so the correct option is:
<h3>Which polynomial function has 6 roots?</h3>
You need to remember that if p(x) is a polynomial of degree N, then it has N roots (such that some of these N roots may be equal or not).
Then we just need to find the polynomial of degree 6. (Remember that the degree represents the maximum exponent of the polynomial).
In this case, the only one of degree 6 is:
Which is the last option.
