Consider a function \(f(x)\) representing the height of a plant over time, where \(x\) is the time in weeks and \(f(x)\) is the height in centimeters. The growth rate of the plant varies over the first few weeks.
a. If the graph of \(f'(x)\) (the derivative of \(f(x)\)) is a horizontal line above the x-axis, state what this indicates about the plant’s growth.
