Using an exponential function, it is found that f(5.5) = 19.8.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
An exponential function is a function in which the growth rate is a percentage, modeled by:

In which:
f(3.5) = 25 means that:


f(8.5) = 14 means that:

Hence:


![b = \sqrt[5]{\frac{14}{25}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B14%7D%7B25%7D%7D)


Hence, the function is given by:

Then, when x = 5.5:

A) 70 pools in total
B) 5:2
The rule of geometric sequence is ⇒⇒⇒ a * r^(n-1)
Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio
for the given sequence √5 , √10 , 2√5 , .......
a = √5
r = √10 / √5 = √2
The ninth term = √5 * (√2)^(9-1) = √5 * (√2)⁸ = 16 √5
the correct answer is the third option 16√5
