A science class is tracking the progress of plant growth. The class starts the experiment with a plant five centimeters high. Th

e plant grows two centimeters each day. The model for plant growth "y" is given by: y = 2x + 5. What is the meaning of the y-intercept in this equation?

The second sentence above helps with this answer. The y-intercept is the initial height of the plant before any documentation of time and growth was collected. Since the plant was initially 5 cm high, we can use it as a starting point for the data. For example, using x=0 indicates 0 day and if we substitute it in you will see that we are left with a solution of 5. This will let those reading the data to understand that the plant was already at 5 cm when the experiment began.

The y intercept in this case means that the plant started off 5 centimeters high. If the plant grows two centimeters per day, then that means that the height is the y axis and days the x. Since in the very beginning, the plant was five centimeters high, that would be the y intercept, and then the plant would start growing from that height.

A student inscribes a triangle within a semicircle. What is the measure of ∠XYZ?
nata0808 [166]

Answer: a. 90°


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the in a circle, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle with the same intercepted arc.

In the problem∠XYZ is the inscribed angle

∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}\ arc(XZ)

⇒ ∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}\angle{XZ}

Since XZ is a diameter of the circle which is a line segment, thus ∠XZ=180°

∴ ∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}180^{\circ}=90^{\circ}

∴ ∠XYZ=90^{\circ}

Therefore, a. 90° is the measure of ∠XYZ.

1 (15 Points]. Prove the following statement: is divisible by 3 if only if it is a sum of three consecutive integers. be ddvisbk
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

<em>First.</em> Let us prove that the sum of three consecutive integers is divisible by 3.

Three consecutive integers can be written as k, k+1, k+2. Then, if we denote their sum as n:

n = k+(k+1)+(k+2) = 3k+3 = 3(k+1).

So, n can be written as 3 times another integer, thus n is divisible by 3.

<em>Second. </em>Let us prove that any number divisible by 3 can be written as the sum of three consecutive integers.

Assume that n is divisible by 3. The above proof suggest that we write it as

n=3(k+1)=3k+3=k + k + k +1+2 = k + (k+1) + (k+2).

As k, k+1, k+2 are three consecutive integers, we have completed our goal.

The arc angle AC is measured as 55 degrees.

<h3>How to find arc angle?</h3>

If two secant intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is half the positive difference of the arcs intercepted.

Therefore, the secants intersect outside the circle at point E.

The arc angle AC can be found as follows:

Therefore,

m∠BED = 1 / 2 (arc angle AC - arc angle BD)

arc angle AC = x

arc angle BD = 23 degrees.

m∠BED = 16 degrees.

m∠BED = 1 / 2 (arc angle AC - arc angle BD)

16 = 1 / 2 (x - 23)

16 = 1 / 2x - 23 / 2

16 + 11.5 = 0.5x

27.5 = 0.5x

x = 27.5 / 0.5

x = 55 degrees.

Therefore,

arc angle AC = 55 degrees.
