In a study a researcher measured a plant to be 8 cm tall. If the plant continues to grow 2 cm every week, after how many weeks will the plant reach the height of 24 cm?

8 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

weekly

Required

Determine the duration it gets to 24 weeks

First, we need to represent the scenario as a function.

Let the number of weeks be w.

So:

f(w) = Initial Height + Growth * Number of Weeks

This gives:

When the duration is 24 weeks,

We have that:

Substitute 24 for f(w)

Make 2w the subject of formula

Make w the subject of formula

Hence, it'll take the plant 8 weeks to get to 24cm

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is equal to the rise/run. in this case the line rises 2 units for every +3 units it moves
