Jake’s measures the height of a tree to be 74 3/8

I'm assuming the question is asking how tall the tree is if it has grown 2 3/4 inches.

The initial height of the tree is 74 3/8 inches and it grows 2 3/4 inches after six months. We can add these two numbers together to calculate the height of the tree now.

74\frac{3}{8} + 2\frac{3}{4}

Since these are both mixed numbers, we must find a common denominator to add our fractions. 8 is the lowest common denominator for 4 and 8. So:

74\frac{3}{8} + 2\frac{6}{8}

We can now add our whole numbers up (74 + 2) and add the numerators of the fractions together to get a single fraction (\frac{3}{8} + \frac{6}{8}).

74 + 2 = 76

\frac{3}{8} + \frac{6}{8} = \frac{9}{8}

Putting these two together, we get 76 \frac{9}{8}, which is equal to 77\frac{1}{8}.

We can also turn this answer into an improper fraction. This is done by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. So in this case:

77 x 8 = 616

616 + 1 = 617

The denominator stays the same, so our answer as an improper fraction would be \frac{617}{8}.

So the tree is 77\frac{1}{8} inches tall, or \frac{617}{8} inches tall.

The graph of f is shown. find and interpret f(45).
Ket [755]

The function represents the number of accidents (f(x)) per 50 million miles driven as a function of the driver's age (x).

f(x)=0.4x^2-36x+1000

f(45) indicates that you have to find the value of f(x) when x=45, to do so replace the equation of the function with the value of x and solve for f(x)

\begin{gathered} f(x)=0.4x^2-36x+1000 \\ f(45)=0.4(45)^2-36\cdot45+1000 \\ f(45)=0.4\cdot2025-1620+1000 \\ f(45)=810-1620+1000 \\ f(45)=190 \end{gathered}

For x=45 years f(x)=190

f(45)=190; This value indicates that 45-year-old drivers had 190 accidents per 50 million miles driven.
