Question

1. A zucchini plant in Darnell’s garden was 13 centimeters tall when it was first planted. Since then, it has grown approximately 0.6 centimeter per day. a. Write a rule to describe the function. b. After how many days will the zucchini plant be 0.208 meter tall?

Answer 1

So, there are already 13 centimeters of length and then you keep adding 0.6 cm for everyday. So, the rule is 0.6d+13. Now, to find out how many days for part b, we must find out how many centimeters are in 0.208 meters. There are 20.8 centimeters. Now, subtract 13 from 20.8 to get 7.8. Now divide by 0.6 to get 13 days. Hope this helped!
