I seriously need help with this!! (attached image)Must have correct answers for all 5 questions with explanation and work shown. Melissa's garden is growing! She notices her tomato plants were 2inches the first week, 4 inches the second week, 8 inches the thirdweek, and 16 inches the fourth week!Her tomato plant is doubling in size each week. She wants to be able topredict how tall it might be each week so she tries to write an equationto show the growth. She comes up with y=2x, where x is the number ofweeks, and y is the height of the plant.1. Does her equation work? Why or Why not? Show your calculationsto prove if it works or not.2. Sam comes over and tells Melissa her tomato plant is actuallygrowing according to the equation y=x^2. Is Sam correct? Why or whynot? Show your calculations to prove if it works or not. 3. Lance visits and tell Melissa that she and Sam are both wrong andshe should come up with an exponential equation instead. Whatexponential equation could show the growth of Melissa's tomatoplants? Prove that your equation works or does not work by showingyour calculations. For example, y=5^x will not work because if x=1, y=5,and at week 1 the tomato plants were not 5 inches, they were 2 inches.4. What if Melissa's bell peppers grew from 3 inches in week 1 to 9inches in week 2 and 27 inches in week 3? Come up with an equation toshow the growth of the bell peppers. Prove that it works by showingyour calculations.5. What pattern do you see in exponential equations? How can you tellif you should use the equation for a line (y=2x) versus the equation fora parabola (y=x^2) versus an exponential equation (y=2^x) from thevalues you are working with? Write a general rule for writingexponential equations.

As per our answering guidelines we are allowed to solve only 3 sub-parts. Kindly repost others.…
