A SCIENTIST RESEARCHING FERTILIZER CHARTED THE HEIGHT OF A PLANT AS PART OF AN EXPERIMENT.THE HEIGHT WAS ORIGINALLY 8 INCHES BUT GREW AT RATE OF 5% PER WEEK AFTER RECEIVING THE EXPERIMENTAL FERTILIZER.WHAT IS THE HEIGHT AFTER 16 WEEKS?

It would be 8*((1.05)^16) where 8 is the original height, the 1.05 is the 100 percent plus the 5 extra that is grows, then the ^16 is the amount of weeks it grew. On a calculator, it would be approximately 10.72076513 inches
ANSWER: 10.72076513 inches
