It will take 4 years for these trees to be the same height

Step-by-step explanation:

A gardener is planting two types of trees:

Type A is 6 feet tall and grows at a rate of 12 inches per year

Type B is 2 feet tall and grows at a rate of 24 inches per year

We need to find exactly how many years it will take for these trees to be the same height

Assume that it will take x years for these trees to be the same height

Type A:

∵ The initial height of the tree is 6 feet

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 6 feet = 6 × 12 = 72 inches

∴ The initial height of the tree is 72 inches

∵ It grows at a rate of 12 inches per year

∵ The number of years is x

∴ The height of the tree in x years = 72 + 12 x

Type B:

∵ The initial height of the tree is 2 feet

∴ 2 feet = 2 × 12 = 24 inches

∴ The initial height of the tree is 24 inches

∵ It grows at a rate of 24 inches per year

∵ The number of years is x

∴ The height of the tree in x years = 24 + 24 x

Equate The heights of the two types

∴ 72 + 12 x = 24 + 24 x

- Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ 48 + 12 x = 24 x

- Subtract 12 x from both sides

∴ 48 = 12 x

- Divide both sides by 12

∴ x = 4

It will take 4 years for these trees to be the same height

How do I solve this problem? The green dots can be moved
olganol [36]

Answer :

Points at (1, 3) and (3, 3) and (2, 1)

Explanation:

The original graph (dashed) is an absolute value function meaning f(x) = |x|

<u>Given:</u> y = 2f(x - 2) + 1

f(x - 2) means you plug in x - 2 for x in f(x) function

the new graph equation is: y = 2|x - 2| + 1

  • The graph will shift up 1 because +1
  • The graph will shift right because -2
  • The graph has a scale factor of 2
  • The graph is V shaped because it is an absolute value graph
