9 squares because if there are 18 triangles in it then you divide 18 by 2 and get 9

Answer:
- 0 ≤ m ≤ 7
- 0.4541 cm/month; average rate of growth over last 4 months of study
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>:
The study was concluded after 7 months. The fish cannot be expected to maintain exponential growth for any significant period beyond the observation period. A reasonable domain is ...
0 ≤ m ≤ 7
__
<u>Part B</u>:
The y-intercept is the value when m=0. It is the length of the fish at the start of the study.
__
<u>Part C</u>:
The average rate of change on the interval [3, 7] is given by ...
(f(7) -f(3))/(7 -3) = (4(1.08^7) -4(1.08^3))/4 = 1.08^3·(1.08^4 -1)
≈ 0.4541 cm/month
This is the average growth rate of the fish in cm per month over the period from 3 months to 7 months.
Teachers often all this problem a donut problem because it’s like the donut hole getting cut out of the middle. The way that you solve this is to find the area of the whole yard and subtract the area of the fountain. Since they are rectangles we’re going to use A = LW
Area of yard - Area of fountain
A = (8x)(9x) - (2x)(5x)
A = 72 x^2. - 10 x^2
A 62 x^2
