1. Let’s simulate an imaginary plant’s growth. Assume that this plant grows at a constant rate. The length of the stem increases by 11 millimeters each day.
a.Make a table of the plant’s height over a 10-day period.
b.Make a graph of the plant growth over time in days.
c.Predict the plant’s growth over a 100 day period.
2. Consider another plant that has a height of 30 millimeters when it is first measured and suppose it grows continuously at a rate of 8 millimeters per day.
a.Make a table of the plant’s height over a 10-day period.
b.Make a graph of the plant heights.
c.Predict the plant’s height on the 100th day after it was first measured.
d.Do you feel that the plant growth in these two problems is realistic? Explain.
