A plant grows at a rate of 4.5 centimeters per week. It is now 12 centimeters tall. Supposed that the plant continues to grow at the same rate. In how many weeks will it reach a height of 48 centimeters?

The rate of growth of a plant is inversely proportional to (t+1), where t is the time in weeks since it was planted. Initially, the plant was 23 cm tall, and its height was increasing at a rate of 5 cm/week. Find the height of the plant after 10 weeks.
