For the marigolds 
M  = 150(0.85)^x     where x is the number of months
For sunflowers 
S = 125 - 8x  where x = number of months

Part B
after 3 months there are 150(0.85)^3  =  92 marigolds

after 3 moths there are 123 -  8*3 = 99 sunflowers

Part C 

There are the same number of plants when  the 2 functions are equal:-

So we have  150(0.85)^x = 125 - 8x
solving this for x is not straight forward . it could be done by drawing 2 graphs and seeing where they intersect.

They come close to being equal after 2 months and after 14 months

The rectangles shown below are similar figures. Use the properties of similar figures to solve for the value of s.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

s = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the rectangles are similar

2 × __ = 16

s × __ = 24

so,

16÷2 = 8

2 × 8 =16

s × 8 =24

then,

24 ÷ 8 = s

3 = s

2 × 8 = 16

3 × 8 =24

hoped i helped :)
