    The equation of tree's growth is given as : C (n) = 15 + 7 n,

    n = pair of weeks, n = 2, 4, 6, 8, ...

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, the initial height of the plum tree = 15 ft

    ⇒h (0) = 15 ft

    Now, after two weeks the tree is 22 ft

    ⇒h (2) = 22 ft

    Now, the growth of tree in 2 weeks

    = Height after 2 weeks - Initial height of tree

    = 22 ft - 15 ft = 7 ft

    So, the plum tree grows 7 ft in 2 weeks

    ⇒ The plum tree grown (7/2) ft in 1 week.

    Also, the growth of tree in next 2 weeks = 36 ft

    So, the growth of tree in next 2 weeks

    = Height after 4 weeks - Height after 2 weeks

    = 36 ft - 22 ft = 14 ft

    So, the tree grows 14 ft in next two weeks.

    ⇒ The tree grows 7 ft in next 2 weeks.

    hence, the complete growth of each week is given as:

    15 ft, 18.5 ft, 22 ft, 29 ft, 36 ft

    So, the equation of tree' growth is given as : C (n) = 15 + 7 n

    Here, n = Pair of weeks, n = 2, 4, 6, 8, ...
