Question

Determine what type of model best fits the given situation: The height of a tree twenty feet tall increases by 2 feet per year.

Answer 1

linear model

Explanation:

This is a linear function. The initial value is 20 ft, and the yearly growth is 2ft/yr. Thus, the function is

height(t) = (20 ft) + (2 ft/yr)t, where t is the number of years.
