Question

Write a function to describe the following scenario.

Emily plants a rosemary bush that starts at 5
centimeters in height and grows 3 centimeters
per year. How high will the rosemary be after a
certain number of years?
y = [?]x +

Answer 1

y(x) = 3x + 5

Explanation:

Since the rosemary grows by the same number of centimeters each year, this situation is modeled by a linear function.

Height starts at 5 meters and grows 3 centimeters per year.

This means that the height after a certain number of years, represented by x, is given by:

y(x) = 3x + 5
