Final answer:

The expression to represent Tameeka's sunflower's growth is 58 + 8N, where N represents the number of days that have passed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent this situation, we can use the equation:

58 + 8N

Where N represents the number of days that have passed. The initial height of the sunflower is 58 millimeters, and it grows 8 millimeters each day.

For example, if 5 days have passed, the expression would be:

58 + 8(5) = 98

So after 5 days, the sunflower would be 98 millimeters tall.
