Suppose the corn size is 10 inches now. SO, according to the problem it grows 3 inches per week. Hence corn will be
10+3=13 in the next week.
13+3=6 in the second week
16+3=19 in the third week and so on.
So, the changes in the plant size is always equal.
Hence, it's an example of linear function.
1) Taking in account that the function is f(x)= -(2/3) |x+4|-6, I enclose a file with the graph.
That helps you to conclude:
a) The graph of f(x) has a vertex on (-4, -6)
b) When you multiply a function times 2/3 it is vertically compressed which is equivalent to horizontally streched.
c) The graph of f(x) opens downward
d) The domain of f(x) is all the real values (the absolute function accepts any value of x either positive or negative)
Answer: the graph of f(x) is horizontally stretched.
To find the volume of something, you do the area times the height. In this case you already know the volume so you solve it like this:
(x represents the height since you don't know the value)
1440= 144 * x
1440 = 144x
1440/144= 144x/144
10 = x
Your height is 10:)
