An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 7 years of growth and shaping. The growth rate during those 7 years is
approximated by dh/dt = 1.3t + 2, where t is the time in years and h is the height in centimeters. The seedlings are 17 centimeters tall when planted (t = 0). (a) Find the height after t years. h(t) = (b) How tall are the shrubs when they are sold? cm
