Bellany planted a bush in his yard. At the time of planting the tree was three years
Question:
Bellany planted a bush in his yard. At the time of planting the tree was three years old and measured 0.35 m in height. Bellany kept track of how the tree was growing over an eight year span and collected the data in the following table:
Age of Tree (years) Height (m)
2 0.42
4 1.55
6 2.06
8 2.51
10 2.88
12 3.03
Determine the natural logarithm function in the form h(t) = a + bln(t) that models the tree, h(t), in meters, after time, t, in years. Round the a and b values to the nearest hundredth. How long will it take for the tree to be at least 6 m tall? Round your answer to the nearest year.
