Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship is linear, so the plant grows the same amount each day.
The height on the 2nd day was 8 inches:
h₂ = 8
The height on the 7th day was 20.5 inches:
h₇ = h₂ + (7-2)d = 8 + 5d = 20.5
d = 2.5
The plant grows 2.5 inches each day.
We are given the dimensions 10 feet length and 3 inches height. The volume of the rectangular portion is equal to $72.59 / $98 per cubic yard that is equal to 0.74 cubic yard. This is equal to 19.98 cubic feet. This means the width of the portion is equal to 8 feet.
When graphs are plotted, graphs as in the .jpeg image in attachment are obtained.
First graph is line going through ordered pair (point) (0,6) and pair (6,8).
The second graph is line going through ordered pair (6,8) and pair (8,0).
Intercept of these graphs is point (ordered pair) (6,8).
You see from the .jpeg image that the following is true:
Initial velocity of the runner is 6 meters per second (runner starts with this velocity), for a while he runs, velocity grows, then in the 6th second (time=6), runner starts to slow down and velocity starts to decrease, and runner stops totally at time = 8.
So runner stops after 8 seconds.
The 4th claim (sentence) is correct.
