A botanist transplanted a plant that
was 3 cm tall into an experimental soil.
He then took measurements once a
week and found an average growth
rate of 0.5 cm per week. Which linear
equation describes the plant's height in
centimeters, h, after w weeks?

H) h = 5x + 3
F) w= 1/2h + 3
G) w= 3h+ 1/2
J) h= 1/2w + 3

Respuesta :

Linear equation of plant height is h = (1/2)w + 3 so, Option "J" is the correct answer.

Given:

Height of experimental plant = 3cm

Average growth = 0.5 cm per week

Find:

Linear equation of plant height

Computation:

Given;

h = Plant height

w = number of weeks

So,

Plant height = Height of experimental plant + (Average growth)(number of weeks)

h = 3 + (0.5)(w)

h = (1/2)w + 3

Option "J" is the correct answer to the following question.
