Suppose that the height of the tree is given by exponential growth. This is the given by the form:
y=abˣ
where:
a is the initial value
b is the growth factor
y is the current value
x is the number of years.
From the question:
a=36 in
b=1 1/4=1.25
y=44 3/4=44.75
plugging the values in the equation we get:
44.75=36(1.25ˣ)
solving for x we shall have:
179/144=1.25ˣ
introducing logs
ln(179/144)=x ln 1.25
hence
x=[ln(179/144)]/ln 1.25
x=0.975~ 1 year

Answer: the tree was planted 1 year ago

Consider the following three equations:
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

1.

y = 20(11) + 300 = 520

y = 5(11)(11) = 605    

y = 10(1.4)^11 = 404.96

hence the quadratic formula - y = 5x^2 has the largest y-value

2.

y = 20 (14) + 300 = 580

y = 5 (14) (14) = 980

y = 10(1.4)^ 14 = 1111.20   >    this is greater than both equations above

14 is the smallest value of x for which the value of the exponential equation is greater than the values of both the linear and quadratic functions

1 question for math............
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

answer would be the first choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

you would need to factor out x from the expression, then factor out -3 from the expression, factor the expression using a^2-B^2=(a-b)(a+b), afterwards you factor out the 4 from the expression, and then the 3x. Next you would factor out 2x+1, reduce the expression with x-5, reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2, you then reduce the expression with x-3, multiply the fractions, distribute 2 through the parenthesis, distribute the 3x through the parenthesis, and that should be all.
