Question

Jenny watched a movie about aliens who never stop growing. Every alien is 10 centimeters tall at birth and grows exactly 8 centimeters each year. Let y represent the number of years since birth and h represent the alien's height in centimeters. Complete the equation that represents the relationship between y and h. y h 4 42 5 50 6 58 7 66

Answer 1

h = 10 + 8y

Explanation:

Given that :

Height of ght if all alien at birth = 10cm

Growth rate per year = 8 cm

Let:

y = number of years since birth

h = alien's height in centimeter

Relationship between h and y

h = Initial height + (growth rate per year*number of years)

h = 10 + 8y
