Solution:
Let denote the growth of height in the year. We have
The tree ceases to grow in the year where
So height of tree is
A tree, in each year grows 5 cm less than it grew in the previous year. If it grew half a metre in the first year, then the height of the tree (in metres ) when it ceases to grow, is
Let denote the growth of height in the year. We have
The tree ceases to grow in the year where
So height of tree is
