Andrea conducts a science experiment and observes that the height of a plant depends on the amount of sunlight it

receives. The plant's height is 37 centimeters and it grows at a rate of 0.004 centimeter per hour of sunlight. If the
number of hours of sunlight is represented by the variables, which function can represent the height of the plant?

Answer: A(h) = 37 +004h

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next function:

A = P + rh

Where:

p = original height

r = growing rate (decimal form)

h= hours

A =height after t hours

Replacing with the values given:

A (h)= 37 +004h

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
