Keith modeled the growth over several hundred
years of a tree population by estimating the number
of the trees' pollen grains per square centimeter that
were deposited each year within layers of a lake's
sediment. He estimated there were 310 pollen grains
per square centimeter the first year the grains were
deposited, with a 1% annual increase in the number
of grains per square centimeter thereafter. Which of
the following functions models P(t), the number of
pollen grains per square centimeter t years after the
first year the grains were deposited?
A) P(t) = 310
B) P(t) = 3101.011
C) P(t) = 310(0.99)
D) P(t) = 310(1.01)'

step-by-step explanation:

vertical asymptote .

horizontal asymptote .

step-by-step explanation:

given function is .

vertical asymptote is given by setting

denominator =0

when degree of numerator and denominator are same then divide first term of numerator by first term of denominator to get horizontal asymptote.

where are the graphs?

step-by-step explanation:

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
