Six years after a tree was planted, its height was 7 feet. Nine years after it was planted, its height was 16 feet. Which of the

following equations gives the height y, in feet, of the tree after x years if the tree grows at a constant rate? Check all of the boxes that apply.

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

I cant solve this can i get some help? <br> 2 cos x + √ 2 = 0
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 cos x + √ 2 = 0

2 cos x = -√ 2

cos x = -√ 2  / 2

x = arcCos(  -√ 2  / 2 )

so to solve we have to use  "co-terminal " angles .. do you know what I'm saying?  do you understand the words coming out of my mouth :DDDDD OKay back to math and not movie lines .. :P

x = arcCos(  √ 2  / 2 )

x = 45 °

now find the "co terminal" angle that is on 45 ° but in the correct quadrant... since the  -√ 2   is negative.. we now that we go down the y axis.. but also positive on the x axis.. soooo.. that put the angle in the 4th quadrant... so this is an angle of 315° if we go in the CCW  ( counter clock wise )  direction but it's also -45°  in the CW  (clock wise )  direction

below is the table to remember the trig special angles

notice how it's  1,2,3,4    .. so it's super easy to remember.. the trig books don't show you this "trick"   :P

copy and paste this to your computer some where handy

Sin(0) = 0/2      =0  

Sin(30)= \sqrt{1}/2   = 1/2  

Sing(45) =\sqrt{2}/2 =\sqrt{2}/2  

Sin(60)=\sqrt{3}/2   = \sqrt{3}/2  

Sin(90)=\sqrt{4}/2   = 1  

Cos is exactly the same but counts backwards from 90°

Cos(90) = 0/2       = 0

Cos(60) = \sqrt{1} /2   = 1/2

Cos(45) = \sqrt{2}/2    =\sqrt{2}/2

Cos(30) = \sqrt{3}/2   =\sqrt{3}/2

Cos(0) = \sqrt{4}/2    = 1
