- A tree was planted.
Exactly 3 years after it was planted, the height of the tree was 2 m .
Exactly 5 years after it was planted, the height of the tree was 2.4 m .
Given that the height, \(H\) metres, of the tree, \(t\) years after it was planted, can be modelled by the equation
$$H ^ { 3 } = p t ^ { 2 } + q$$
where \(p\) and \(q\) are constants,
- find, to 3 significant figures where necessary, the value of \(p\) and the value of \(q\).
Exactly \(T\) years after the tree was planted, its height was 5 m .
- Find the value of \(T\) according to the model, giving your answer to one decimal place.
