One type of redwood tree has an average height of 65 feet when it is 20 years old. If the tree is more than 20 years
old, the average height, h, can be modeled by the function h = 1.95(a - 20) + 65, where a is the age of the tree in
years. Which statement about this situation is true?
A Every additional 1.95 ft of length over 20 ft adds 45 years to the age of this type of redwood tree.
8. For this type of redwood tree, the average height increases by 1.95 ft per year throughout its lifetime.
c. Each additional year of age over 20 years adds 1.95 ft to the average height of this type of redwood tree.
D. For this type of redwood tree, the average height increases by 65 ft for every 20 years of growth.
