Question

nico receives a spruce tree from the school at the end of Grade 1. It grows at a rate of 25% per year. If the tree is 1 foot tall when Nico plants it, how tall will the tree be in 12 years when he graduates from high school?

Answer 1

h(t) = h₀*(1.25)^t

 

Where:

h(t) is the height of the spruce tree after t years

h₀ is the initial height of the spruce tree = 1 foot

t is years = 12

 

h(t) = (1 foot)*(1.25)¹²

 

Can you solve it from here?
