Question 39 of 40Marisol recorded the height (in centimeters) of a pea plant over a 10-dayperiod for a science experiment, which equation is the best model of thedata?10CentimetersX123456ly33.53.54.55566,577789102 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10DaysO A. y. 28.(1.1)O B. y. 0,5x+24

Answer 1

SOLUTION

The data can be modeled as an exponential function

The exponential function is of the form

$y=ab^x$

Using the table of values the values of a and b is as shown

Using the derived values, it follows

$y=3.0(1.2)^x$

Therefore the model is

$y=3.0(1.2)^x$
