Question

Miriam has a bamboo plant that is 20 centimeters tall. The plant grows at a rate of 2 centimeters a week. Which recursive formula gives the plant’s height at any week in the future?

Answer 1

W is week. It would be 20+2w. Because we start with the plants hight (20) and them it grows two cm per week, so 2w.

Answer 2

Answer:

20+2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial, given that miriam has a bamboo plant which is 20 centimeters tall.

The plant grows in a week is 2 centimeter .

Let total number of  week  taken  by the plant  is x.

growth in a week is equal to 2centimeter.

plant high initially=20cm

therefore, the recursive formula which gives the plant's height at any week in future is equal to 20+2x .

plant's height = $20+2x$.
