In the fairy tale “Jack and the Beanstalk”, Jack plants a magic bean before he goes to bed. In the morning, Jack discovers a giant beanstalk that has grown so large, it disappears into the clouds.
But here is the part of the story you never heard. Written on the bag containing the magic beans was this note.
Plant a magic bean in rich soil just as the sun is setting. Do not look at the plant site for After the bean has been in the ground for ( |

Jack was a good math student, so although he never looked at his beanstalk during the night, he used the function to calculate how tall it should be as it grew. The given table shows the calculations he made every half hour.
Hence, Jack was not surprised when, in the morning, he saw that the top of the beanstalk had disappeared into the clouds.

Explain why it’s possible to answer some questions about the height of the beanstalk by just substituting the numbers into the function rule and why sometimes you can only use the table.
