Answer: p = 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$5^{p-3}\cdot3^{2p-8}=225\\\\5^{p-3}\cdot3^{2p-8}=15^2\\\\5^{p-3}\cdot3^{2p-8}=5^2\cdot 3^2\\\\5^{p-3}=5^2\quad and\quad 3^{2p-8}=3^2\\\\p-3=2\quad and\quad 2p-8=2\\p=5\qquad and \qquad 2p=10\rightarrow p=5$

a. $\boxed{y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)}$

b. For every month the pine tree grows about 0.67 inches.

c. <em> </em>It represents the height of the tree at the moment Ariel started to record the heights.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this exercise we have that in July Ariel recorded the height of a pine tree and how quickly it was expected to grow in next several months. From the Table, we can get the following points:

$P_{1}(3,602) \\ \\ P_{2}(6,604) \\ \\ P_{3}(q,606) \\ \\ P_{4}(12,608)$

It is obvious that this problem follows a linear equation, so our goal is to find the equation that matches the Table.

The point slope form of the equation of a line is:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ m:Slope \\ \\ (x_{1}, y_{1}):A \ point \ on \ the \ line$

Finding (m):

$Using: \\ \\ P_{1}(x_{1},y_{1}) \rightarrow P_{1}(3,602) \\ \\ P_{2}(x_{2}, y_{2}) \rightarrow P_{2}(6,604) \\ \\ m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{604-602}{6-3} \\ \\ m=\frac{2}{3}$

Finally, the equation of the line is:

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) \rightarrow (3,602) \\ \\ \boxed{y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)}$

In this case, we have that:

The x-axis represents the <em>Number of Months </em>the pine tree was expected to grow.
The y-axis represents the <em>Height of the Tree </em>in inches.

Since the slope o a line is:

$Slope=\frac{Change \ in \ y}{Change \ in \ x}=\frac{2}{3}$

Then, this means that<em> every three months the pine tree grows two inches, </em><em>or </em><em>for every month the pine tree grows about 0.67 inches.</em>

The y-intercept can be found setting $x=0$ . So, from our equation:

$y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)} \\ \\ \\ If \ x=0: \\ \\ y-602=\frac{2}{3}(0-3) \\ \\ y-602=-2 \\ \\ Solving \ for \ y: \\ \\ y=602-2 \\ \\ y=600$

So the y-intercept is $y=600$ and<em> represents the height of the tree at the moment Ariel started to record the heights.</em>

a tap can fill a bucket in 2 minutes, another in 3 minutes. If both are turned on how long does it take to fill the bucket?

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

It takes 1 minute 12 seconds to fill the bucket if both taps are turned on.

Step-by-step explanation:

One tap fills the bucket in 2 minutes, thus fills 1/2 of the bucket in one minute.
Other tap fills the bucket in 3 minutes, thus fills 1/3 of the bucket in one minute.
Both together fill 1/2+1/3=5/6 of the bucket in one minute.
If they can fill 5/6 of the bucket in 1 minute, they fill 1/6 of the bucket in 1/5 minute.
They can fill the bucket (6/6) in 1+1/5 minute
This is 1 minute 12 seconds
