first off your answer is 21.90 and the step by step i wrote it for you:) Finding the square root of a number is the inverse operation of squaring that number. Remember, the square of a number is that number times itself. The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers. The square root of a number, n, written below is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself. Many mathematical operations have an inverse, or opposite, operation. Subtraction is the opposite of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication, and so on. Squaring, which we learned about in a previous lesson (exponents), has an inverse too, called "finding the square root." Remember, the square of a number is that number times itself. The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 … The square root of a number, n, written is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself. For example, because 10 x 10 = 100 Examples Here are the square roots of all the perfect squares from 1 to 100. Finding square roots of of numbers that aren't perfect squares without a calculator 1. Estimate - first, get as close as you can by finding two perfect square roots your number is between. 2. Divide - divide your number by one of those square roots.
3. Average - take the average of the result of step 2 and the root. 4. Use the result of step 3 to repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have a number that is accurate enough for you.
 Example: Calculate the square root of 10 () to 2 decimal places. 1. Find the two perfect square numbers it lies between.
 Solution:
32 = 9 and 42 = 16, so lies between 3 and 4. 2. Divide 10 by 3. 10/3 = 3.33 (you can round off your answer) 3. Average 3.33 and 3. (3.33 + 3)/2 = 3.1667 Repeat step 2: 10/3.1667 = 3.1579Repeat step 3: Average 3.1579 and 3.1667. (3.1579 + 3.1667)/2 = 3.1623 Try the answer --> Is 3.1623 squared equal to 10? 3.1623 x 3.1623 = 10.0001 If this is accurate enough for you, you can stop! Otherwise, you can repeat steps 2 and 3. Note: There are a number of ways to calculate square roots without a calculator. This is only one of them.

The height of a tree in feet over x years is modeled by the function f(x). f(x)=301+29e−0.5x which statements are true about the

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Given this equation:

$f(x)=301+29^{-0.5x}$

That represents the height of a tree in feet over (x) years. Let's analyze each statement according to figure 1 that shows the graph of this equation.

The tree's maximum height is limited to 30 ft.

As shown in figure below, the tree is not limited, so this statement is false.

The tree is initially 2 ft tall

The tree was planted in x = 0, so evaluating the function for this value, we have:

 $f(0)=301+29^{-0.5(0)}=301+1=302ft$

So, the tree is initially $\boxed{302ft}$ tall.

Therefore this statement is false.

Between the 5th and 7th years, the tree grows approximately 7 ft.

if x = 5 then:

 $f(5)=301+29^{-0.5(5)}=301ft$ 

if x = 7 then:

$f(7)=301+29e^{0.5(7)}=301ft$

So, between the 5th and 7th years the height of the tree remains constant
:
$\Delta=f(7)-f(5)=301-301=0ft$

This is also a false statement.

After growing 15 ft, the tree's rate of growth decreases.

It is reasonable to think that the height of this tree finally will be 301ft. Why? well, if x grows without bound, then the term $29^{-\infty}$ approaches zero.

Therefore this statement is also false.

Conclusion: After being planted this tree won't grow.
