Question

Ethan planted a tree that was 1.85 m tall seven years later the tree is 5.30 m tall which equation can be used to finance the number of meters the tree has grown

Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let h represent the height of the tree in meters and t represent the number of years after planting.

Initially a tree of height 1.85 m was planted, i.e. at t = 0, h = 1.85. It can be represented in form of (h, t) as (1.85, 0).

After seven years the height of the tree was 5.30 m, it can be represented as (5.30, 7). Hence the equation can be gotten using:

`t - t_1=(t_2-t_1)/(h_2-h_1) (h-h_1)\\\\t-0=(7-0)/(5.30-1.85)(h-1.85)\\\\t= 2.03(h-1.85)\\\\t=2.03h-3.75`
