Amarine biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of fish. she writes the following equation to show the length of the fish, f(m), in cm, after m months:

f(m) = 4(1.08)m

part a: when the marine biologist concluded her study, the length of the fish was approximately 6.86 cm. 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(m) represent? (2 points)

part c: what is the average rate of change of the function f(m) from m = 3 to m = 7, and what does it represent? (4 points)

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.
