Answer:
A. Plant 1 is growing at a faster rate than Plant 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope (m) or rate of growth in Plant 1 is;
m = Change in y ÷ change in x
m =
= 2
The linear equation of growth in Plant 1 is;
= 2
y = 2x + 1.5
The equation of growth in Plant 2 is; y = 1.5x + 3 (slope of 1.5)
Since the slope in growth of Plant 1 is greater than that in Plant 2, it implies then that Plant 1 is growing at a faster rate than Plant 2.
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 but don’t flip the symbol.
You only flip the inequality symbol if you divide by a negative number.
If you’re solving for x (which you are), you want to get x by itself. The only way to do that is to divide by 4.
Answer:
x=-1, x=3, x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Substitute 0 for f(x)
0=(x+1)(x-3)(x-4)
2. Set each set of parenthesis equal to 0
0=x+1, 0=x-3, 0=x-4
3. Solve for x
x=-1, x=3, x=4
