Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height

Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7

9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16

With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.

To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )


Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11

A cube made of an unknown material has a height of 9 cm. The mass of this cube is 3.645 grams. What is the density of this cube?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}

mass = 3.645 g

volume = 9×9×9

= 729 cm³

density = 3.645/729

= 0.005 gcm^-3

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume is 729 cm³ cause the given height is 9cm and it is a cube. cube has equal sides so their lengths are the same.

volume = length × height × width

Factor out the greatest common factor <br>-5x^2 - 5x^3 - 15x^4
vaieri [72.5K]
Our answer is -5x^{2} (3x^{2} +x+1)

Our greatest common factor, or GCF, is -5x^{2}, so when we factor is out, our divide each term by -5x^{2}, we get our answer. To check this, we can multiply the -5x^{2} back across the parenthesis and see if we get the same result as our initial question.

Hope this helped! :))

kow [346]

Answer:

t < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

12 > t + 3

We can subtract 3 from both sides getting us 9 > t.
