This question can be answered by graphing, but first you need to write an equation using slope- intercept form 

y=mx+b , where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Answer:

plant b height will exceed the height of plant a after 16 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant a: 5 cm tall and rate of change = 3 cm per month

Plant b: 4  cm tall and rate of change = 5 cm per month.

Now we have to form the linear equations.

Plant a:

y = 3x + 5, where y is the total height and "x" be the number of months.

Plant b:

y = 5x + 4 , where y is the total height and "x" be the number of months.

Now we have to when the height of the plant a and plant b are the same.

To do that, we have to equivate both the equations and find x.

3x + 5 = 5x + 4

Isolate the variables terms and constants.

5x - 3x = 5 - 4

2x = 1

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

x = 1 ÷ 2

x = 0.5 months.

So after 15 days, the height of the plant a and plant b are the same.

Therefore, plant b height will exceed the height of plant a after 16 days.

Find the work done by the force Bold Upper F equals xy Bold i plus (y minus x )Bold j over the straight line from (negative 1 co
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<h2>4/3 Joules </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is said to be done when force applied to an object causes the object to move through a distance.

Work done = Force * perpendicular distance.

\int\limits^a_b {F} \, ds

Given Force F = xy i + (y-x) j and a straight line (-1, -2) to (1, 2)

First we need to get the equation of the straight line given.

Given the slope intercept form y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

m = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

m = 2-(-2)/1-(-1)

m = 4/2

m = 2

To get the slope we will substtutte any f the point and the slope into the formula y = mx+c

Using the point (1,2)

2 = 2+c

c = 0

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into the value of the force F = xy i + (y-x) j we will have;

F = x(2x) i + (2x - x) j

Using the coordinate (1, 2) as the value of s

W = \int\limits^a_b ({2x^2 i + x j}) \, (i+2j)\\W = \int\limits^a_b ({2x^{2}+2x }) \, dx \\W = [\frac{2x^{3} }{3} +x^{2} ]\left \ x_2=1} \atop {x_1=-1}} \right.\\W = (2(1)^3/3 + 1^2) -  (2(-1)^3/3 + (-1)^2)\\W =(2/3+1) - (-2/3+1)\\W = 2/3+2/3+1-1\\W = 4/3 Joules
