A zucchini plant in Darnell’s garden was 10 centimeters tall when it was first planted. Since then, it has grown approximately 0.5 centimeter per day. a. Write a rule to describe the function. b. After how many days will the zucchini plant be 18.5 centimeters tall?

The number of days it will grow to be 18.5 cm tall is 17 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many days it will grow until it reaches 18.5 centimeters, first find the difference of the new height by the old height.

So= 18.5-10= 8.5cm

8.5 is the centimeters it needs to grow to be 18.5 cm tall.

Then, divide it by the number of centimeters it will grow in one day, which is 0.5, to find the days it grew 8.5 cm.

So= 8.5÷0.5= 17
