Neglect the decaying mode from part a. A mode that enters during matter domination grows in amplitude byso its variance grows by . For , part b gives
For , the mode enters during radiation domination and is assumed not to grow significantly until equality. It then grows by . Since the equality mode satisfiesthe post-equality variance growth isTherefore the broken matter power spectrum from horizon entry is
