Bean sprouts grow very quickly. A bean sprout has grown to a height of 5 millimetrs. Tomorrow it will be 14 millimeters tall, the next day it will be 23 millimeters tall, and on the next day it will be 32 millimeters tall.

Question

Part 1) Write a rule to represent the height of the bean sprout as an arithmetic sequence.

Responses

A(n) = 5 + (n - 1) 9
A(n) = 5 + (n - 1) 9

A(n) = 14 + (n - 1)9
A(n) = 14 + (n - 1)9

A(n) = 5 - (n - 1)9
A(n) = 5 - (n - 1)9

A(n) = 9n
A(n) = 9n

A(n) = 9 + (n + 1)5
A(n) = 9 + (n + 1)5

Answer 1

Part 1) The correct rule to represent the height of the bean sprout as an arithmetic sequence is A(n) = 5 + (n - 1)9.

Part 2) To find the height of the bean sprout in 12 days, substitute n = 12 into the arithmetic sequence formula: A(12) = 5 + (12 - 1)9 = 5 + 11*9 = 5 + 99 = 104 millimeters. Therefore, the bean sprout will be 104 millimeters tall after 12 days.
