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) = 7(1.06)
Part A: When the biologist concluded her study, the radius of the algae was approximately 13 29 mm. What is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function? (4 points)
Part B: What does the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(d) represent? (2 points)
Part C: What is the average rate of change of the function f(d) from d = 4 to d = 11 and what does it represent? (4 points)
