Answer:

4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let the number of months it takes for their heights to equal be x and let h(x) be the height after x months.

#For plant 1, we equate height after x months as:

h(x)=6+3x

#For plant 2, we equate height after x months and at a constant rate m:

h(x)=2+mx

#we equate and solve for rate of growth, m in plant 2 as below:

h(x)=2+mx\\\\but\  h(12)=50\\\\\therefore r=\frac{50-2}{12}\\\\r=4 \ inches/month

#We then equate the two heights after x months to solve for x:

h(x)_1=h(x)_2\\\\6+3x=2+4x\\\\6-2=4x-3x\\\\x=4

Hence, the plants have the same height after 4 months

Keisha wants to meet for 90 minutes so far she has read 30% of her goal how much longer does she need to read to reach her goal
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

30% of 90             

30% x 90              

30/100 =3/10              

3/10 x 90 = 270/10          

270 = 27     

90 - 27 = 63          

Keisha has to read 63 more minutes to reach her goal.

X<br> f(x) =<br> x2 + 4x<br> .<br> x2_4
PtichkaEL [24]
The answer is 1/(x+4)
Explanation:
You would factor out the denominator
So,
(X-4)(x+4)=x^2-16
So, x-4/(x+4)(x-4)
Then x-4 cancels each other out from the numerator and denominator
Leaving 1/x+4
