Question

A researcher is following the growth of a particular type of flower. She writes the given equation to show the height of the flower g(n), in inches, after n days.
g(n) = 10(1.02)n


What does the average rate of change of the function represent?


A.
the number of days flower grew

B.
the average height of the flower after 5 days

C.
the average growth of the flower from day 1 to day 5

D.
the average time it takes for the flower to grow from 1-5 inches

Answer 1

The expression given represents an exponential growth relation. The average rate of change is the average growth of the flower from day 1 to days 5

The rate of change of the flower can be deduced frommthe equation as :

• 1.02 - 1 = 0.02

Hence, the growth rate of the flower per day = 0.02

The number of days, n = 5

Therefore, the average growth rate is the average growth of the flower within the number of days given.
