Answer to Problem 49HP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The table,
Concept Used:
Equation of the line passing through the points
Calculation:
The slope of any line is given by rise over run. That is, the ratio of the number of units it rise or fall over the number of units it move forward or backward from a fixed point.
Observe that the rate of change between week 4 to 6 and from week 6 to 8 is same, because
So, the height of the plant is increasing at a constant rate of 2.25 inches per week.
So, the function that represents the height of the plant is a linear function with slope 2.25.
Now since function satisfy the point (4,9), so the function that describes the height of plant is
Thus, the function that describes the height of the plant is given by
