Question

A tree grows 2 inches per year. It was 14 inches tall when it was planted. what would be this function discrete continuous or neither? whould it be a linear an exponential or neither? what would be the domain?

please help greatly appreciated

Answer 1

This function is a continuous linear function that's domain is all positive real numbers.

Explanation:

This function is continuous because every linear function is continuous and this function is the linear function y = 2x+14 where x is the years it has been planted and y is the height.

It is a linear function, it's hard to explain, but it has a dependent variable, the height of the tree that changes at a constant rate with the independent variable which is time in years.

The domain is all positive real numbers since time/years can not be negative.
