Joseph's parents enjoy analyzing the data of situations that are in constant change. When Joseph was born they measured his length at 21-inches. Each year after that, on his birthday, they measured his height. For the first 5 years, Joseph grew 4 inches per year. The next 4 years his growth rate decreased to 2-inches per year. From then until Joseph was 14, he grew at the original rate of 4 inches per year. From that age until the end of their data collection, the rate of growth was 6 inches every year.
A. You are to extract the data from the above description and display it in a table using the proper format for making a data table.
B. Using the information displayed in your table construct a graph using the technique described in the relevant video above.
