A 12-inch tall sunflower is planted in a garden and the height of the sunflower increases by 8% per day. Write a function f(t) that determines the height of the sunflower (in inches) in terms of the number of days t since it was planted. What does f(4) mean in the context of this problem? If the sunflower is 23 inches tall, then how many days has the sunflower been growing for?
