Question

A plant is already 41 centimeters tall, and it will grow one centimeter every month. The plant's height, H (in centimeters), after m months is given by thefollowing.H=41 +mWhat is the plant's height after 23 months?

Answer 1

64 cm

1) Gathering the data

Initial size: 41 cm

growth: 1 cm each month

H = 41 +m

2) Given the equation that describes this linear growth is

h = 41 +m

Then we have

h = 41 +(23)

h= 64 cm

3) So the height after 23 months is 64 cm
