Answer 1

Answer:

 The required function that models the number of branches t years since Bela began studying her tree is

number of branches = $60(1.83)^{\frac{t}{2.9} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the time in years

Initially Bela's tree had 60 branches.

therefore the function that can be used to model the number of branches after t years will be given by

number of branches( after t years) $= 60\times(1 + \frac{83}{100})^{\frac{t}{2.9} } = 60(1.83)^{\frac{t}{2.9} }$
