Question

Bamboo plants grow Rapidly. A Bamboo plant is 130 inches tall. Tomorrow it will b 142 inches tall, the next day it will be 156 inches tall, and on the next day it will be 169 tall. Write a rule to represent the height of the bamboo plant as an arithmetic sequence. How tall will the plant be in 13 days?

Answer 1

The rule to represent the aritmathic sequence would be :
A(n)  = 130 + (n-1) 13

the height in 13 days would be :

A(n) = 130 + (14-1) 13
A(n) = 130 + 169

= 299 inches
