Q. How does f(t)=9tf(t) = 9^t change over the interval from t=7t = 7 to t=8t = 8?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) f(t)f(t) increases by a factor of 99\newline(B) f(t)f(t) decreases by a factor of 99\newline(C) f(t)f(t) decreases by 99\newline(D) f(t)f(t) increases by 99
  1. Calculate f(t)f(t): Calculate f(t)f(t) at t=7t = 7.\newlinef(7)=97f(7) = 9^7
  2. Calculate f(t)f(t): Calculate f(t)f(t) at t=8t = 8.\newlinef(8)=98f(8) = 9^8
  3. Find factor change: Find the factor by which f(t)f(t) changes from t=7t = 7 to t=8t = 8.\newlineFactor = f(8)f(7)=9897\frac{f(8)}{f(7)} = \frac{9^8}{9^7}
  4. Simplify expression: Simplify the expression.\newlineFactor = 987=91=99^{8-7} = 9^1 = 9
  5. Determine answer choice: Determine the correct answer choice.\newlineSince f(t)f(t) increases by a factor of 99, the correct answer is (A)f(t)f(t) increases by a factor of 99.
