A tree is growing at a rate of 36 feet every 3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Airida [17]2 years ago
3 0

well, we know the tree is growing at a rate of 36 feet every 3 years, how many feet is that in 1 year alone?   well, simply 36/3 = 12.

so the tree is growing 12 feet per year.

when it was first planted, it was 5 feet tall, and then after every year, we have to add 12 feet subsequently, let's do that

year 1 .......... 5 + 12(1)

year 2 .......... 5 + 12(2)

year 3 .......... 5 + 12(3)

year 4 .......... 5 + 12(4)

year 5 .......... 5 + 12(5)

year 6 .......... 5 + 12(6)

year 7 .......... 5 + 12(7)

year y .......... 5 + 12(y)

\bf \stackrel{\textit{height}}{h}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{initial height}}{5}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{yearly rate}}{12y} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{tree is now}}{77} = 5 + 12y\implies 72=12y\implies \cfrac{72}{12}=y\implies \boxed{6=y}

Solve for e. (-7) = e/3 + 14
raketka [301]
<span>(-7) = e/3 + 14

Subtract 14 on both sides

-7 - 14 = e/3 + 14 - 14

-21 = e/3 

Multiply by 3 on both sides

-21 * 3 = e/3 * 3

-63 = e</span>

Andrew has a cell phone plan that provides 300 free minutes each month for
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Andrew has a cell phone plan that provides 300 free minutes each month for a flat rate of $19. For any minutes over 300, Andrew is charged $0.39 per minute. Let x be the number of minutes Andrew uses per month and f(x) be the charges based on Andrew's cell phone plan. If  then If  then first 300 minutes are free and each minute of next (x-300) minutes costs $0.39, therefore Hence, { 19 + 0.39(x - 300), x > 300

What is the equation of a sine function with an amplitude of 2 and a period of 4
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we need to know the standard form of a sine function and the meaning of each part.

Standard form: y=asin[b(x-h)]+k

a=amplitude

b=period

h=phase shift

k=vertical replacement/shifting

Now that we know the standard form and the components, we know that we can forget about k and plug in 0 for h. This would leave us with y=asin[b(x)]. We know that the amplitude is 2, therefore, a=2. To find the period, you divide 2π by the given period. \frac{2\pi }{b} =\frac{2\pi }{4\pi } =\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}, therefore, b=1/2.

y=asin[b(x)]             [plug in a=2]

y=2sin[b(x)]             [plug in b=1/2]

y=2sin(\frac{1}{2}x)

Therefore, C is the correct answer.
