A 8-inch sunflower is planted in a garden and the height of the sunflower increases exponentially. The height of the sunflower increases by 25% every 6 days.

  1. What is the 6-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 f that determines the height of the sunflower (in inches) in terms of the number of days t since the sunflower was planted.

f(t)=
