D It is not possible for her to only have 4 blooms.

Answer 1

To find the point at which Olivia will only have 4 blooms, we need to set the equation equal to 4 and solve for x:

4 = 1.345x + 4

Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get:

0 = 1.345x

Dividing both sides by 1.345, we find:

0/1.345 = x

0 = x

Therefore, Olivia will only have 4 blooms when she adds no fertilizer. Answer choice A is correct:

A) When she adds no fertilizer.
