Answer:
The rate of Yvone's hair growth is 3.1 cm per month.
Step-by-step explanation:
WIth the data from Yvonne's hair we can create a sequence that goes as follows:
A = {47, 50.1, 53.2, 56.3, 59.4,...}
This is an arithmetic sequence, the numbers are related to each other by a common difference, in other words to find the next number we just need to add a constant "r". To find this constant we can subtract any adjacent numbers on this sequence, this is shown below:
r = 50.1 - 47 = 3.1
r = 53.2 - 50.1 = 3.1
r = 56.3 - 53.2 = 3.1
and so on.
The rate of Yvone's hair growth is 3.1 cm per month.
