Flowers grow rapidly. A flower is 60 inches tall. Tomorrow it will be 71 inches tall. The next day it will be 82 inches tall, and on the next day it will be 93 inches tall. Write a rule to represent the height of the flower as an arithmetic sequence. How tall will the plant be in 12 days?
To represent the height of the flower as an arithmetic sequence, we can observe that the flower is growing by 11 inches each day. Therefore, the rule to represent the height of the flower is:
Height of flower = 60 + 11n
Where n is the number of days.
To find the height of the plant in 12 days, we can substitute n = 12 into the formula:
Height of flower = 60 + 11(12) = 60 + 132 = 192 inches
Therefore, the plant will be 192 inches tall in 12 days.
