Answer:

C) The initial number of leaves on the plant was 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

2 is growth factor

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given expression

$f(t)=5(2)^t$

We can use formula

$f(t)=a(b)^t$

here ,

a is initial value

b is growth factor

so, we get

$b=2$

so, growth factor is 2

So, Number of leaves doubled after one week

So, 2 is growth factor
