Given the statement:
The function h(m)=10+4mh(m)=10+4m represents the height of a vine, in centimeters, m months after the vine was transplanted
Determine what the value 10 represent in the situation.
Explanation:
Since the value m, is the number of months, and 4 is the height increase per month, then we can conclude that 10 is the initial height of the vine before it was transplanted. This is due to the fact that the height gained is added to 10.
Final answer:
The vine was 10 cm tall when it was transplanted.
