Newly planted seedlings approximately double their weight every week. If a seedling weighing 5 grams is planted at time t=0 weeks, which equation best describes its weight, W, during the first few weeks of its life?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Newly planted seedlings approximately double their weight every week and a seedling weighing 5 grams is planted at time t = 0 weeks. This represent an exponential function with an equation in the form:

.

W(t) is the weight in t weeks, t is the weeks and a is the weight when t = 0. At t = 0, W = 5 g:

Since the weight double every week, b = 2. The exponential function is given as:
