Question

Suppose you are determining the growth rate of two species of plants. Species A is 12 cm tall and grows 2 cm per month. Species B is 10 cm tall and grows 3 cm per month. Which system of equations models the height of each species H(m) as a function of months m.

H(m ) = 2 + 12m
H(m ) = 3 + 10m

H(m ) = 2 + 12m
H(m ) = 10 + 3m

H(m ) = 12 + 2m
H(m ) = 3 + 10m

H(m ) = 12 + 2m
H(m ) = 10 + 3m

Answer 1

H(m) = 12 + 2m
H(m) = 10 + 3m

Answer 2

The equations for the growth of two type of species are

H(m) = 12 + 2m

H(m) = 10 + 3m

Explanation:

As given

The growth rate of two species of plants.

Species A is 12 cm tall and grows 2 cm per month.

The height of each species is represented by H(m) as a function of months m.

Than the equation becomes

H(m) = 12 + 2m

As given

Species B is 10 cm tall and grows 3 cm per month.

Than the equation becomes

H(m) = 10 + 3m

Than the equations for the growth of two type of species are

H(m) = 12 + 2m

H(m) = 10 + 3m
