Answer:

[tex]y=100\cdot (1.07)^d[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the expression to represent how much you would expect a cub to weigh [tex]d[/tex] days after it's born as exponential growth function [tex]y=a\cdot b^d,[/tex] where [tex]a[/tex] is the initial panda's weight and [tex]b[/tex] is the rate of growth.​

A newborn red panda weighs 100 grams, then [tex]a=100.[/tex]

A healthy cub gains about 7% of its newborn weight per day, then

[tex]b=1+0.07=1.07[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]y=100\cdot (1.07)^d[/tex]
