Jarrett's puppy weighed 3 3/4 ounces at Birth. At 1 week old, the puppy weighed 5 1/8 ounces. At 2 weeks old, the puppy weighed
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:  The answer is 7\dfrac{7}{8} ounces.

Step-by-step explanation: Given in the question the weight of Jarrett's puppy at birth, one week old and 2 weeks old are as follows:

b_0=3\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{15}{4}~\textup{ounces},\\\\\\b_1=5\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{41}{8}~\textup{ounces},\\\\\\b_3=6\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{13}{2}~\textup{ounces}.

We can see that

b_1-b_0=b_2-b_1=\dfrac{11}{8}.

So, the weight of the baby will make an arithmetic progression with first term 'a' and common difference 'd' as follows:

b_0=\dfrac{15}{4},~~d=\dfrac{11}{8}.

Thus, the weight of the puupy after 3 weeks will be

b_3=b_0+3\times d=\dfrac{15}{4}+3\times\dfrac{11}{8}=\dfrac{30+33}{8}=\dfrac{63}{8}=7\dfrac{7}{8}~\textup{ounces}.

timofeeve [1]

Answer: The complete question is found in the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To determine the 1-unit growth factor for <em>f</em>

= 2.1/1.75 = 1.2

b) To determine the 1-unit percent change for <em>f</em>

<em>=100 x 1-1.2/1 = 0.2 x 100= 20%</em>

<em>c) to determine the initial value of f</em>

<em>f(x)= abˣ , b =1.2   a=initial value</em>

<em>at (-1,2.1)</em>

<em>2.1= (1.2)⁻¹ x a</em>

<em>a = 2.1/(1.2)⁻¹ </em>

<em>a = 2.1 x 1.2 = 2.52</em>

<em />

<em>d) to determine the function formula for f</em>

<em>f(x)= abˣ = 2.52(1.2)ˣ</em>
