7. the state of maine encourages recycling by giving refunds for certain
recycled items. when you recycle a glass bottle, you get back $0.05.
when you recycle an aluminum can, you get back $0.10, and when you
recycle a plastic bottle, you get back $0.15.
part a: drinks in a glass bottle cost $2.00, drinks in an aluminum can
cost $0.50, and drinks in a plastic bottle cost $1.50. you plan to
purchase two of each. use the distributive property to write an
expression that represents the amount of money you will spend.

answer: check all that apply, where the options?

step-by-step explanation:

the given growth  function for the length of the fish (cm) is

f(m) = 5(1.07)m = 5.35m

where 

m = months

at the end of the study, the length is 9.19 cm. the  time for conducting the study is determined as

5.35m = 9.19

m = 1.7178 months

part a.

the study was performed over a time period  of about 1.72 months. therefore  the domain for  plotting the function is 0 < = m < = 1.72.

note:

if growth  continues at this rate for up to m months, then the domain would be 0< =m< =m.

part b.

the growth function is a linear function.

when m=0, f=0.

therefore the initial growth is zero, which represents the y-intercept.

part c.

assume that the growth function is valid for 0< =m< =9.

the average rate of change of the function is the slope of the linear function, which is 5.35 cm/month.
