Under ideal conditions, a tree, newly planted from seed, grows 1 m in its first year. In each subsequent year it grows 10 % of the difference between its height at the beginning of the year and its theoretical maximum height.

1. If a given tree’s theoretical maximum height is 30 m, how big will it be (under ideal conditions), to the nearest 10 cm after 3 years growth?

    Explanation

    The correct answer is B.

    1+0.10(30-1)+0.10(30-0.10(30-1))

    =1+0.10(29)+0.10(30-0.10(29))

    =1+2.9+0.10(30-2.9)

    =3.9+0.10(27.1)

    =3.9+2.71

    =6.61m
