Same problem, different numbers.
------------------
certain species of tree grows an average of 0.5 cm per week. Write an equation for the sequence that represents the weekly height of this tree in centimeters if the measurements begin when the tree is 800 centimeters tall.
------------
h(t) = 800 + 0.5t, h in cms, t in weeks

Let +h+ = height in cm
Let +n+ = week number after +h+=+500+ cm
+h+=+3.8n+%2B+500+
