A tree was 5 feet tall. One year later, the tree was 13 feet tall. Write an equation and use mental math to find how many feet f the tree grew.

Respuesta :

just minus 5 feet from the new height which is 13ft, and the equation will be 13-5, and therefore the tree grew 8 feet

The relationship between the height of the tree and the number of years will be y = 8x + 5.

What is a function?

A statement, principle, or policy that creates the link between two variables is known as a function. Functions are found all across mathematics and are required for the creation of complex relationships.

A tree was 5 feet tall.

One year later, the tree was 13 feet tall.

Let x be the number of years and y be the height of the tree.

Let the relationship between the height of the tree and the number of years be linear.

y = mx + c

At x = 0, the height of the tree is 5 feet.

5 = m (0) + c

c = 5

Then the equation will be

y = mx + 5

At x = 1, the height of the tree is 13 feet.

13 = m + 5

m = 8

Then the equation will be

y = 8x + 5

The relationship between the height of the tree and the number of years will be y = 8x + 5.
