A young channel catfish weighs about 0.1 pound. During the next 8 weeks, its weight increases by about 23% each week. Write an exponential growth function that represents the weight of the catfish after t weeks during the 8-week period.*Please Help*
Accepted Solution
A:
For this case we have an equation of the form:
[tex] y = A * (b) ^ t
[/tex] Where, A: initial weight of the channel. b: growth rate t: time in weeks. Substituting values we have: [tex] y = 0.1 * (1.23) ^ t
[/tex] Where, the domain is: [0, 8] Answer: an exponential growth function that represents the weight of the catfish after t weeks during the 8-week period is: [tex] y = 0.1 * (1.23) ^ t
[/tex] Domain: [0, 8]
