Answer:
1.2 centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the plant grows .4 centimeters per week, you can multiply that number by three. The resulting value is the plant's total growth over three weeks.
24 - 16 = 8
36 - 24 = 12
54 - 36 = 18
So, obviously, this isn't an arithmetic sequence.
24/16 = 3/2
36/24 = 3/2
54/36 = 3/2
Aha! This is a geometric sequence.
Now, let's find the 7th term in this sequence!

We're trying to solve for a_7.
We know that a_1 is 16
We know that n = 7
We know that r = 3/2 or 1.5
Plug it in!

The seventh term is
182.25
F(2)=4+10-8=6; f(6)=36+30-8=58. Average rate of change is (58-6)/(6-2)=52/4=13
Just divide 16 by 100: 16/100=0.16, So, the answer is C. 0.16
