QUESTION 3
Chris bought a bonsai (miniature tree) at a nursery. When he bought the tree, its height was
130 mm. Thereafter the height of the tree increased, as shown below.
INCREASE IN HEIGHT OF THE TREE PER YEAR
During the first year During the second year During the third year
100 mm 70 mm 49 mm
3.1 Chris noted that the sequence of height increases, namely 100 ; 70 ; 49 ..., was
geometric. During which year will the height of the tree increase by approximately
11,76 mm?
3.2 Chris plots a graph to represent the height h(n) of the tree (in mm) 7 years after he
bought it. Determine a formula for h(n).
3.3 What height will the tree eventually reach?
