Question

a plant is already 44 cm tall, and will grow one cm every month. let H be height in cm and M months. write and equation relating H to M . then use equation to find plants height after 32 months

Answer 1

H = height in cm

M = months

The plant is already 44 cm tall

GRowth every month = 1 cm

Equation:

H (m) = 44 + m

The height after m months, will be equal to the initial height (44) plus the number of months.

For 32 months, replace m by 32 and solve:

H (32) = 44+32

H (32) = 76 cm

After 32 months, the plant will be 76 cm tall
