Question 8 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The function f(x) is not in correct format it must be $f(x)=3^x$ .

It is given that two different plants that grow each month at different rates are represented by the functions f(x) and g(x).

Let as consider the two functions,

$f(x)=3^x$

$g(x)=5x+12$

Now, table of values is

Month(x) $f(x)=3^x$ $g(x)=5x+12$

1 3 17

2 9 22

3 27 27

4 81 32

From the above table it is clear that in first and second month the height of the f(x) plant is less than of g(x).

In month 3, heights are equal.

In month 4, height of the f(x) plant exceed that of the g(x) plant.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Help it’s slope idk how to do it

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:
