Zoey bought a plant and planted it in a pot near a window in her house. Let H represent the height of the plant, in inches, t months since Zoey bought the plant.
The table below has select values showing the linear relationship between t and H.
Determine the initial height of the plant when it was purchased.

t H
0.5 17.25
3 23.5
5 28.5

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
