The Robinson's are planting a tree in their front yard. The sales person at the local nursery tells them the tree they are purchasing will grow approximately half a foot every 4 years. The tree is 5 and one-half feet tall right now. Write an equation to model the tree $\displaystyle {t}$ years after it's planted.

$\displaystyle {h}{\left({t}\right)}={5.5}+{5}{t}$
$\displaystyle {h}{\left({t}\right)}={5.5}+{0.125}{t}$

$\displaystyle {h}{\left({t}\right)}={4}{t}+{5.5}$
$\displaystyle {h}{\left({t}\right)}={5.5}+{2.5}{t}$

$\displaystyle {h}{\left({t}\right)}={5.5}{t}+{0.125}$
$\displaystyle {h}{\left({t}\right)}={0.125}+{5.5}{t}$
