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.
