Question

The expression 1.5t + 201.5t+201, point, 5, t, plus, 20 predicts the height in centimeters of a plant ttt days from today. What is the predicted height of the plant 555 days from today?

Answer 1

Answer: 27.5 cm

Explanation:

Since, according to the question,

The height of the plant after t days from today,

f(t) = 1.5 t + 20

For 5 days, t = 5,

Thus, the height of plant after 5 days from today,

f(5) = 1.5 × 5 + 20 = 7.5 + 20 = 27.5

⇒ The predicted height of the plant 555 days from today = 27.5 cm

Answer 2

Given that the expression 1.5t + 20 predicts the height in centimeters of a plant t days from today.

The predicted height of the plant 5 days from today is given by 1.5(5) + 20 = 7.5 + 20 = 27.5 centimeters.
