The average rate of change for the height of the plant measured in centimeters per day between day 0 and day 20 is 1.32 cm per day.
<h3>What is average height?</h3>The average height is the ratio of change in height of the plant and the time taken taken for that change.
Given is the height of a plant in centimeters is modeled as a function of time, in days.
For day 0, the height is 18cm and the height for day 20 is 42 cm, then the average height change is
height per day = 42 - 18/ 20 -0
height per day = 1.2 cm/day
Thus, the average height of plant is 1.2 cm/day.
