Answer:
The equation representing how old Monique son is
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
A linear function can be used to represent the constant growth rate of Monique Son.
i.e.
where;
= initial height of Monique's son
= growth rate (in)
t = time
So, the average boy grows approximately 2 5/8 inches in a year.
i.e.
Then; from the equation
The height of the son as a function of the age can now be expressed as:
Then:
Making t the subject;
and the age of the son i.e. ( a (in years)) is:
a = 2 + t
So;
SO;
if q (growth rate) = 50 inches tall
Then;
a = 2 + 6.095
a = 8.095 years
a ≅ 8 years
i.e.
Monique son will be 8 years at the time Monique is 50 inches tall.
