Question

Bamboo plants grow rapidly. A bamboo plant is 121 inches tall. Tomorrow it will be 134 inches tall, the next day it will be 147 inches tall, and on the next day it will be 160 inches tall. Write an explicit formula to represent the height of the bamboo plant as an arithmetic sequence. How tall will the plant be in 15 days?

Answer 1

The height of the bamboo plant after 15 days is 316 inches.

What is the height of the plant in 15 days?

In order to determine the formula that represents the rate of growth of the bamboo plant, we have to determine the inches of growth per day.

Rate of growth per day = 134 - 121 = 13 inches

The height of the bamboo plant = 121 + 13h

Where h is the number of days

Height in 15 days = = 121 + (13 x 15)

= 316 inches
