Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial height of a Japanese maple sapling is 14 inches.

The tree is expected to grow 2.5 inches each month. This increase in height is linear, thus it is in arithmetic progression.

The expression for arithmetic progression is

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Where a = the first term of the series

d = common difference

Tn is the nth term of the series

n = the number of terms.

From the information given

a = 14 inches because it is the initial height of the tree

d = 2.5 because it is the difference in height between 2 consecutive months

n = m( number of months)

Tn = f(m)

function models the relationship between the height of the tree f(m) and the number of m months of growth will be

f(m) = 14 + 2.5(m-1)

Answer:

a = 3

b = 2

c = 0

d = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Form 4 equations and solve simultaneously

28 = a(2)³ + b(2)² + c(2) + d

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)

-5 = -a + b - c + d (2)

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d (4)

(1) + (4)

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d

8 = 8b + 2d

d = 4 - 4b

Equation (2)

c = -a + b + d + 5

c = -a + b + 4 - 4b+ 5

c = -a - 3b + 9

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)

28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

28 = 6a - 6b + 22

6a - 6b = 6

a - b = 1

a = b + 1

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)

220 = 64(b + 1) + 16b + 4(-b - 1 - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

220 = 60b + 100

60b = 120

b = 2

a = 2 + 1

a = 3

c = -3 - 3(2) + 9

c = 0

d = 4 - 4(2)

d = -4

The trapezoid below has been enlarged by a scale of 1.5. A trapezoid with an area of 36 inches squared. What is the area of the
Viktor [21]

Answer:

B.  81\text{ in}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the trapezoid shown in the attachment has been enlarged by a scale of 1.5. We are asked to find the area of the enlarged trapezoid.

The area of the original trapezoid is 36 square inches.

Since each side of the trapezoid is enlarged 1.5 times, so the area of new trapezoid would be 2.25 times greater than area of original trapezoid.

The area would be 2.25 times greater because area is product of sum of lengths of parallel sides and height.

1.5\times 1.5=2.25

\text{Area of new trapezoid}=2.25\times 36\text{ in}^2

\text{Area of new trapezoid}=81\text{ in}^2

Therefore, the area of the enlarged trapezoid would be 81\text{ in}^2 and option B is the correct choice.

What is the value of b2 - 4ac for the following equation? 2x 2 - 2x - 1 = 0
Orlov [11]
For you to make an equation a quadratic equation, you need everything to be on one side, so you add one to both sides. 

<span>2x^2 + 3x + 0=0 </span>

<span>a=2, b=3, c=0 </span>

<span>b^2-4ac (In the next step just plug in your variables) </span>

<span>3^2 - 4(2)(0) </span>

<span>9 - 8(0) </span>

<span>9 - 0 </span>
