If The growth is directly proportional this means that the graph will be linear.
For simplicity and since the question does not specify, we will make one time unit one week.
Our base function is "F(t) = mt + b" with F(t) being the length of nail with respect to time.
[This is just mx + b]
so F(t) = mt + b
We will assume that when t = 0, we have 3mm of nail. So...
F(0) = 3
3 = m(0) + b
b = 3
F(t) = mt + 3
To find slope we can sub when F(t) is 1
F(1) = 3.5
3.5 = m + 3
m = 0.5 =
Our Equation is:
"F(t) = t + 3
Use a graphing calculator, an online grapher, or pen and paper for your graph.
