Answer:
a) 12 + 0.5d d=day
b) 0.195/0.5=0.39d
Explanation:
Answer
(a) Find out the a rule to describe the function.
To prove
Let us assume that the days be represted by d .
Let us assume that the height of plant be represted by y.
As given
A zucchini plant in Darnell’s garden was 12 centimeters tall when it was first planted.
it has grown approximately 0.5 centimeter per day.
Than the function becomes
y = 12 + 0.5 × d
y = 12 + 0.5d
(b) Find out after how many days will the zucchini plant be 0.195 meter tall .
To prove
Let us assume that the days be represted by d .
As given
A zucchini plant in Darnell’s garden was 12 centimeters tall when it was first planted.
it has grown approximately 0.5 centimeter per day.
As
1meter = 100cm
0.195 meter convert into centimeter.
= 19.5cm
Than the equation becomes
12 + 0.5d = 19.5
0.5d = -12 + 19.5
0.5d = 7.5
d = 15 days
Therefore 15 days will the zucchini plant be 0.195 meter tall .
