Lets write a linear equation to represent this flower growth, lets call y the height of the flower in centimeters and x the number of days passed:
y = 205 + 2x
that means that the flower height y, will grow 2 centimeterrs each x days.
So if we have 235 cm height, we can find the amount of days needed if we replace in the equation and solve for x:
<span>y = 205 + 2x
</span>235 = 205 + 2x
2x = 235 - 205
2x = 30
x = 15
therefore the flower needs 15 days to reach 235 cm height
The rate for one unit of a given quantity is called a(n) Unit Rate.
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
A) as the x-values go to positive infinity, the functions values go to negative infinity.
Explanation:
We can see in the graph that the right hand portion continues downward to negative infinity. The right hand side of the graph is "as x approaches positive infinity," since x continues to grow larger and larger. This means as x approaches positive infinity, the value of the function approaches negative infinity.
