A tomato plant is purchased at a garden supply store. The initial height of the plant is 25.4 in. The height of the plant h (in inches) is approximated by h = 16 ( t + 4 ) 1 / 3 , where t is the time in days after planting. a. Determine the height of the plant 14 days after planting. Round to the nearest inch. b. How long after the plant is planted will it take for the height to reach 5 ft? Round to the nearest day.
