Hi there!

I believe your answer is:
"Isolate the variable using inverse operations."
»»————- ★ ————-««
Here’s why:
To solve for a variable, we would have to isolate it on one side.
To isolate it, we would use inverse operations on both sides on the equation until the variable is isolated.
There are no like terms in the given equation.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The original function is f(m) = 5(1.07)^m, with the m as an exponent
part A) if the final length is 9.19, we can set f(m) = 9.19 and solve for m
plugging it into a calculator, I get m = ~8.99, so a bit less than 9. therefore, a reasonable domain might be all the m values 9 or below, or m ≤ 9
part B) the y-intercept of a function is the value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0. the two variables in your problem are height and number of months - which one do you think is the independent one, and which one is dependent? then re-interpret "value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0" in terms of the actual quantities that the variables represent
part C) average rate of change from m = 1 to m = 9
f(9)−f(1)9−1
evaluate, and think about what that represents in terms of height and number of months
