Q. Baby Amelia's parents measure her height every month.H(t) models Amelia's height (in centimeters) when she was t months old.What does the statement H(30)=H(25)+5 mean?Choose 1 answer:(A) It took Amelia 5 months to grow from a height of 25 centimeters to a height of 30 centimeters.(B) When Amelia was 30 months old, she was 5 centimeters taller than when she was 25 months old.(C) The sum of Amelia's heights at 5 months and 25 months old is equal to her height at 30 months old.
Understand Function H(t): Understand the function H(t) and what it represents.The function H(t) models Amelia's height in centimeters at t months old. This means that H(30) is Amelia's height at 30 months, and H(25) is her height at 25 months.
Interpret Given Statement: Interpret the given statement H(30)=H(25)+5. The statement means that Amelia's height at 30 months (H(30)) is equal to her height at 25 months (H(25)) plus an additional 5 centimeters.
Determine Matching Answer Choice: Determine which answer choice matches the interpretation from Step 2.Option (A) suggests a time period for growth, which is not what the equation is about.Option (B) correctly matches our interpretation that Amelia was 5 centimeters taller at 30 months than at 25 months.Option (C) suggests an addition of heights at different ages, which is not correct.
