Suppose you are determining the growth rate of two species of plants. Species A ls 25 cm tall and grows 3 cm per month. SpeciesB is 10 cm tall and grows 8 cm per month. Which system of equations models the height of each species H(m) as a function of mmonths
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: Last Option[tex]H (m) = 25 + 3m\\H (m) = 10 + 8m[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:The initial height of the plant of species A is 25 cm and grows 3 centimeters per month.
If m represents the number of months elapsed then the equation for the height of the plant of species A is:
[tex]H (m) = 25 + 3m[/tex]
For species B the initial height is 10 cm and it grows 8 cm each month
If m represents the number of months elapsed then the equation for the height of the plant of species B is:
[tex]H (m) = 10 + 8m[/tex]
Finally, the system of equations is:
[tex]H (m) = 25 + 3m\\H (m) = 10 + 8m[/tex]The answer is the last option
