Question

Help me solve this equation about completing tables and comparisons.

Answer 1

At the end of week 3, plant 1 is 0.6 inches taller than plant 2.

How much taller is plant 1 than plant 2 at the end of week 3?

For plant 1, the height (in inches) equation as a function of the number of weeks is:

$h_1(w) = 2.5 + \frac{4}{10}*w$

The height for w = 3 is:

$h_1(3) = 2.5 + \frac{4}{10}*3 = 3.7$

So the height at the end of week 3 is 3.7 inches.

For plant 2 the equation is:

$h_2(w) = 2.5 + \frac{1}{5}*w$

The height for w = 3.

$h_2(3) = 2.5 + \frac{1}{5}*3 = 3.1$

So the height at the end of week 3 is 3.1 inches.

The difference is:

3.7 in - 3.1 in = 0.6 in

At the end of week 3, plant 1 is 0.6 inches taller than plant 2.
