Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let initial number of plants =100
Increase I year 60
Number after 1 year 160
Increase IIyear 60% 96
Number after II year 256
Increase in III year 60% 153.6
and so on
In general if t is number of years and N number of plants after n years
the expression would be

In other words, the expressions wouldbe the same as amount after t years of compound interest.
Answer:
<
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is a negative value, whatever fraction is closer to 0 will be greater.
On a graph, go up 7 units and to the right 2 units from the origin
Point slope equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=slope
So we simply plug in our given information:
x1=-8
y1=2
m=1/2
y-2=1/2(x-(-8)
2 minus signs next to each other make a positive
Final answer:
y-2=1/2(x+8)
