Math Problem Statement
The table below shows the ages of some trees and their corresponding heights. Find an exponential model for tree height as a function of age.
What height does your model predict for a 30-year-old tree?
Age (years) 8 13 18 Length (feet) 2.4 11.7 29.2
If you round your values when you write down the model, use at least three decimal places.
