The function 5w+2 is set up like a slope intercept form function (y=mx+b) where the function of w would b the number of pears each week, 5 is the slope, and 2 is the y-intercept.  One could assume that the number of pears increases each week by a factor of five and the 2 is the initial 2 pears on the tree from when Carl started watching the tree grow.

Just like the other answer said, it can be assumed that 2 is the initial 2 pears on the tree from when Carl started watching the tree grow. Which means that 2 is the number of pears at the start. Not sure why that answer got such bad ratings as it clearly answered the question.

Hello!

If Bruce observes that the number of pitches a batter hits varies and is given by the function f(x)=x-11, and the batters get {4, 12, 14, 27, 42}, then Bruce threw {15, 23, 25, 38, 53} pitches. We get this solution set by adding 11 to each element in the set {4, 12, 14, 27, 42}.

A tower made of wooden blocks measures​ 114 feet high. Then a block is added that increases the height of the tower by 8 inches.
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

4. 23 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The tower is 1 1/4 feet high, then 8 inches are added. Well, we can't just add those two numbers. We have to change the units! Change everything to inches.

1 1/4 feet is equal to 12 inches + 3 inches = 15 inches, because a foot = 12 inches.

Add 8 inches to 15, and you get 23 inches.

<u>The answer is 4. 23 in. </u>
