A biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of algae. She writes the following equation to show the radius of the algae, f(d), in mm, after d days.

f(d)=11(1.01)^d

Part A: When the biologist concluded her study, the radius of the algae was approximately 11.79 mm. What is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function?

Part B: What does the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(d) represent?

Part C: What is the average rate of of the function f(d) from d=2 to d=7 and what does it represent?
