A plant has an initial height of 3 inches and grows at a constant rate of 2 inches each month. A second plant that also grows at

a constant rate has an initial height of 1 inch and 29 inches tall after 1 year. after how many months are the plants the same height

Answer:

4.8 months

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's write down the information that we are given.

Plant A:

Initial Height: 3 in.

Constant Rate of Growth (CRG): 2in/month (2 inches per month)

Plant B:

Initial Height: 1 in.

CRG: 29in/year (29 inches per year)

We can see that Plant B grows 29 inches per year, so lets convert Plant B's 'CGR' to months.

Plant B - Divide by 12 (12 months in a year)

29/12 in/year

Now, Lets put these into equations:

Plant A: y = 2x + 3

Plant B: y = 29/12 x + 1

Now, set these two equations together and solve for x.

2x + 3 = 29/12 x + 1

2 = 5/12 x

4.8

So, after 4.8 months, the plants will be the same height.

In the △ABC, the height AN = 24 in, BN = 18 in, AC = 40 in. Find AB and BC. Consider all possible cases. Case 1 : N∈BC, AB = __,

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Case 1:

$AB = 30$

$BC = 50$

Case 2:

$AB = 15.9$

$BC = 36.7$

Case 3: Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for illustration of each case

Required

Find AB and BC

Case 1:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

$AB^2 = AN^2 + BN^2$

This gives:

$AB^2 = 24^2 + 18^2$

$AB^2 = 576 + 324$

$AB^2 = 900$

Take square roots of both sides

$AB = \sqrt{900$

$AB = 30$

To calculate BC, we consider ANC, where:

$AC^2 = AN^2 + NC^2$

$40^2 = 24^2 + NC^2$

$1600 = 576 + NC^2$

Collect like terms

$NC^2 = 1600 - 576$

$NC^2 = 1024$

Take square roots

$NC = \sqrt{1024$

$NC = 32$

So:

$BC = NC + BN$

$BC = 32 + 18$

$BC = 50$

Case 2:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

$AN^2 = AB^2 + BN^2$

This gives:

$24^2 = AB^2 + 18^2$

$576 = AB^2 + 324$

Collect like terms

$AB^2 = 576 - 324$

$AB^2 = 252$

Take square roots of both sides

$AB = \sqrt{252$

$AB = 15.9$

To calculate BC, we consider ABC, where:

$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

$40^2 = 252 + BC^2$

$1600 = 252 + BC^2$

Collect like terms

$BC^2 = 1600 - 252$

$BC^2 = 1348$

Take square roots

$BC = \sqrt{1348$

$BC = 36.7$

Case 3:

This is not possible because in ANC

The hypotenuse AN (24) is less than AC (40)

Which are the center and radius of the circle with equation (x + 5)2 + (y - 4)2 = 9?

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Center (-5,4) radius 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

where the center is (h,k) and r is the radius

so h=-5 in this case and k is 4

r^2=9 so r=3
