Data:
x: number of months
y: tree's height
Tipical grow: 0.22
Fifteen months into the observation, the tree was 20.5 feet tall: x=15 y=20.5ft (15,20.5)
In this case the slope (m) or rate of change is the tipical grow.
m=0.22
To find the line's slope-intercep equation you use the slope (m) and the given values of x and y (15 , 20.5) in the next formula to find the y-intercept (b):
Use the slope(m) and y-intercept (b) to write the equation:
A) This line's slope-intercept equation is: y=0.22x+17.2
B) To find the height of the tree after 29 months you substitute in the equation the x for 29 and evaluate to find the y:
Then, after 29 months the tree would be 23.58 feet in height
C) In this case as you have the height and need to find the number of moths you substitute the y for 29.96feet and solve the equation for x, as follow:
Then, after 58 months the tree would be 29.96feet tall
40/3. You mutiply top and bottom straight across, then simplify.
Answer:
Recursive:
Explicit:
And the 20th term is 225.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the sequence:
35, 45, 55, 65.
Notice that each subsequent term is 10 more than the previous term.
Therefore, our common difference is (+)10.
Recursive Rule:
The standard format for the recursive rule is:
Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference.
From our sequence, we know that a the initial term is 35.
And as determined, our common difference d is 10.
Substitute. Hence, our recursive rule is:
Explicit Rule:
The standard format for the explicit rule is:
Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference. So, let’s substitute 35 for a and 10 for d. Hence, our explicit formula is:
Now, let’s find the 20th term. We will utilize the explicit rule since the recursive rule can get tedious. Substitute 20 for n because we would like to 20th term. Thus:
Evaluate:
Hence, the 20th term is 225.
