Question

ew at a rate of 3 inches per month. Write an equation for H,H, in terms of t,t, representing the height, in inches, of the plant tt months after Hudson bought the plant.Hudson bought a plant and planted it in a pot near a window in his house. The initial height of the plant was 8 inches and it grew at a rate of 3 inches per month. Write an equation for H,H, in terms of t,t, representing the height, in inches, of the plant tt months after Hudson bought the plant.

Answer 1

Answer: H = 3t + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Initial height of plant = 8 inches

Rate of growth = 3 inches per month

Let H = height of plant ; t = time in months

Expression to represent the height, H, t months after purchase ;

Height of plant after t months will be ;

Initial height which is a constant is added to the rate of growth multiplied by the number of months after purchase.

Mathematically,

H = 8 + (3 × t)

H = 3t + 8
