X-doubling periods
Y-height of bamboo
Y=ab^x

1) make a table of values
X Y
1 5
2 10
3 20

2) write equations and substitute
5=ab^1 —> a=5/b^1 —> a=5/b
10=ab^2

Substitute into second equation

10=(5/b)*b^2
10=5b^2/b
10=5b
b=2

Substitute back in

b=2
10=a*2^2
10=4a
a=5/2

End equation:
Y=5/2*2^x

Answer:

Randomized block design

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can see the following:

- There are 30 plants of each variety. This means that they are divided into variety subgroups which we will call blocks.

- Now, we are told each plant in each block all are potted in the same amount and type of soil, given the same amount of water, and exposed to the same amount of light. This means that each plant in each block is assigned a treatment condition.

- The procedure is repeated by subjecting each plant one after the other in teach Block to different treatments and this will reduce variability.

Looking at all the statements above, it is clear that this is a randomized block design because a randomized block design is when the experimenter/researcher divides members/participants into subgroups called blocks in a manner that the variability within the blocks is less than the variability between the blocks. Thereafter, the participants within each block will now be randomly assigned to treatment conditions.

Here is Triangle A. Lin created a scaled copy of Triangle A with an area of 72 square units. a. How many times larger is the are
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Triangle A is attached in the image below.

The base of triangle A is 3 units and its height is 3 units. The area of a triangle  is given as:

Area = (1/2) × base × height

Area of triangle A = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 3 × 3 = 4.5 unit²

Area of the scaled copy = 72 unit²

Ratio of area = Area of the scaled copy / Area of triangle A = 72 unit² / 4.5 unit² = 16

Hence the scaled copy area is 16 times larger than that of triangle A.

b) For the scaled copy:

Area of the scaled copy = (1/2) × base × height = 72 unit²

base × height = 144

Since the base and height are equal

base² = 144

base = 12, also height = 12

Base of scaled copy = 12 = 4 × base of triangle A

Therefore the scale factor used is 4
