Answer:

1 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The line plot below shows the heights of flowers in a garden.

To Find:

How much taller is the tallest flower than the shortest flower?

Solve:

Knowing that each dot represent it's heights.

Let's makes a table:

6 1/2 ⇒ О О

6 3/4 ⇒ О

7 ⇒ ОООО

7 1/4 ⇒ ОООООО

7 1/2 ⇒ ОООО

7 3/4 ⇒ ОО

8 ⇒ none

8 1/4 ⇒ О

8 1/2 ⇒ none

It's also given that the tallest flower and the shortest flower.

Which is:

Smallest → 6 1/2

Tallest → 8 1/4

Now all we have to do is subtract tallest flower from the shortest flower.

8 1/4 - 6 1/2

Break off 1 from 8 : 8 1/4 = 7 5/4

Now we have:

7 5/4 - 6 1/2

Subtract whole number: 7 - 6 = 1

Combine fraction:

5/4 - 1/2 = 3/4

1 + 3/4

= 1 3/4 inches

Hence, the answer is [B] 1 3/4

Consider the square root function f(x) = sqrt x + 2 + 1 to complete the table of values below. find each missing value and then

Scrat [10]

Given the function :

$f(x)=\sqrt[]{x+2}+1$

We need to find each missing value

Given x = -3 , -2 , -1 , 2 , 7

So, substitute with each value of x to find the corresponding value of f(x)

$x=-3\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-3+2}+1=\sqrt[]{-1}+1$

So, there is no value for f(x) at x = -3 (the function undefined because the square root of -1)

$\begin{gathered} x=-2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{0}+1=0+1=1 \\ \\ x=-1\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-1+2}+1=\sqrt[]{1}+1=1+1=2 \\ \\ x=2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{4}+1=2+1=3 \\ \\ x=7\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{7+2}+1=\sqrt[]{9}+1=3+1=4 \end{gathered}$

the graph of the function and the points will be as shown in the following image :
