A species of tree grows in a unique pattern such that its height in a given year follows a sequence defined as:
where \(H_{1}\) = 3 meters and \(H_{2}\) = 5 meters, and \(H_{n}\) is the height of the tree in meters at the end of year n.
The tree produces flowers in odd years (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, ...). The number of flowers produced in year 2n+1 is equal to the value of \(H_{2n+1} * n\).
Based on the above information, select for \(H_{6}\) the height of the tree in year 6 and for Flowers the total amount of flowers produced from year 1 to 6.
\(H_{n} = H_{n-1} + 2 * H_{n-2}\)
where \(H_{1}\) = 3 meters and \(H_{2}\) = 5 meters, and \(H_{n}\) is the height of the tree in meters at the end of year n.
The tree produces flowers in odd years (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, ...). The number of flowers produced in year 2n+1 is equal to the value of \(H_{2n+1} * n\).
Based on the above information, select for \(H_{6}\) the height of the tree in year 6 and for Flowers the total amount of flowers produced from year 1 to 6.

Flowers are produced only in odd years (n=1,3,5...). For odd year 2n+1, the number of flowers is:
Flowers in year 2n+1 = H2n+1 * n
1. Year 1 (2n+1=1, solving n we get n=0):
Flowers = H1*0 = 3*0 = 0
2. Year 3 (2n+1=3, solving n we get n=1):
Flowers = H3*1 = 11*1 = 11
3. Year 5 (2n+1=5, solving n we get n=2):
Flowers = H5*2 = 43*2 = 86
Total Flowers = 0+11+86 = 97.
