Andrea conducts a science experiment and observes that the height of a plant depends on the amount of sunlight it receives. The plant’s height is 37 centimeters, and it grows at a rate of 0.004 centimeter per hour of sunlight. If the number of hours of sunlight is represented by the variable s, which function can represent the height of the plant?
Answers
This is the concept of functions, to get the function representing the statement above we proceed as follows;
let the height of the plant be h;
h=sk
where k is the constant of proportionality given by;
k=h/s(centimeter per hour)
therefore, since k=0.004
Therefore the function will be given by:
h=0.004s
