Q. How does h(t)=8th(t) = 8^t change over the interval from t=6t = 6 to t=7t = 7?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) h(t)h(t) increases by 800%800\%\newline(B) h(t)h(t) decreases by 88\newline(C) h(t)h(t) increases by 8%8\%\newline(D) h(t)h(t) increases by a factor of 88
  1. Calculate h(6)h(6): Calculate the value of h(t)h(t) at t=6t = 6.\newlineh(6)=86h(6) = 8^6
  2. Calculate h(7)h(7): Calculate the value of h(t)h(t) at t=7t = 7.\newlineh(7)=87h(7) = 8^7
  3. Find difference for change: Find the difference between h(7)h(7) and h(6)h(6) to determine the change.\newlineChange = h(7)h(6)=8786h(7) - h(6) = 8^7 - 8^6
  4. Factor out 868^6: Factor out 868^6 to simplify the expression.\newlineChange = 86×(81)=86×78^6 \times (8 - 1) = 8^6 \times 7
  5. Determine factor of increase: Since 868^6 is a common factor, the change is actually by a factor of 88. So, h(t)h(t) increases by a factor of 88 from t=6t = 6 to t=7t = 7.
