The tree grows linearly, then the tree grows each year will be 20 inches.
A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the variable in the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.
The height of a tree is 38 inches.
After 4 years, the height is 9 feet 10 inches.
1 ft = 12 inches
9 ft = 180 inches
Then 9 ft and 10 inches will be
→ 108 + 10
→ 118 inches
The tree grows in 4 years and will be
→ 118 - 38
→ 80 inches
Let the tree grows linearly, then the tree grows each year will be
→ 80 / 4
→ 20 inches
