Growth in Length of HaddockA study by Raitt showed that the maximum length that a haddock could be expected to grow is about 53centimeters.Let D=D(t) denote the difference between 53centimeters and the length at age t years. The table below gives experimentally collected values for D. Age t Difference D 2 28.2 5 16.1 7 9.5 13 3.3 19 1.0 a.Find an exponential model of D as a function of t. b.Let L=L(t) denote the length in centimeters of a haddock at age t years. Find the model for L as a function of t. c.Plot the graph of the experimentally gathered data for the length L at ages 2,5,7,13, and 19years along with the graph of the model you made for L.
