Paul is gathering data about moss growth in a local forest. he measured an area of 11 square centimeters on one particular tree and will come back in 6 months to measure the growth of the moss. if the area covered by moss multiplies by one and a half times each month, approximately how much area will the moss cover when paul returns?

The area that moss cover when Paul returns is:

The initial area that is measured by Paul about moss growth in a local forest is:  11 square centimeters.

We know that the increase in the area covered by moss is increasing exponentially.

Since each month it is increasing by a fixed constant 1.5 times as it was the previous month.

Hence, the function which represents the area covered by moss in x months is:

We are asked to find the value of function when x=6

i.e.

            Hence, the answer is:

i can
