Question

A 10-inch sunflower is planted in a garden and the height of the sunflower increases exponentially. The height of the sunflower increases by 28% every 5 days. What is the 5-day growth factor for the height of the sunflower? What is the 1-day growth factor for the height of the sunflower? What is the 1-day percent change for the height of the sunflower? Write a function ff that determines the height of the sunflower (in inches) in terms of the number of days tt since the sunflower was planted.

Step 1

The 5-day growth factor is given as 28%, which means the height increases by 28% every 5 days. To find the growth factor, we add 1 to the percentage increase (as a decimal). 5-day growth factor = 1 + 0.28 = 1.28 So, the 5-day growth factor is $\boxed{1.28}$. Show more…
