Plant A: A graph has time (weeks) on the x-axis, and height (inches) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 3), (1, 4.8),

(2, 6.6), (3, 8.4). Plant B: A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled Weeks with entries 2, 3, 4. Column 2 is labeled Height (inches) with entries 7.3, 8.7, 10.1. Simon claims that Plant B will be taller than Plant A in 6 weeks because it has the greater initial value. Is he correct? Yes. The plant with the greater initial value will continue to be taller. Yes. Plant B is 2.4 inches taller than Plant A at 6 weeks. No. The greater rate of change of Plant A will result in it being 0.9 inches taller in 6 weeks. No. The initial value of Plant A is greater.

Answer:

The correct option is;

No, The greater rate of change of Plant A will result in it being 0.9 inches taller in 6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Plant A:

Weeks,    Height

0,               3

1,                4.8

2,               6.6

3,               8.4

The rate of change of height, H per week, t,\left (\dfrac{dH}{dt} \right )  for plant A per week is therefore;

\dfrac{dH}{dt} =  \dfrac{H_n - H_{(n-1)} }{t_n - t_{(n-1)}} = \dfrac{8.4 - 3 }{3 - 0} = \dfrac{5.4}{3} = 1.8 \ inches/week

Therefore we have;

H = 1.8 × t + 3

At week 6,

H = 3 + 6×1.8 = 13.8 inches

Plant B

Weeks,    Height

2,               7.3

3,               8.7

4,               10.1

The rate of change of height, H per week, t,\left (\dfrac{dH}{dt} \right )  for plant B per week is given as follows;

\dfrac{dH}{dt} =  \dfrac{H_n - H_{(n-1)} }{t_n - t_{(n-1)}} = \dfrac{10.1 - 7.3 }{4 - 2} = \dfrac{2.8}{2} = 1.4 \ inches/week

Therefore we have;

When t = 2, H = 7.3 hence, 7.3 = 2 × 1.4 + H₀

Where:

H₀ = H at t = 0

H₀ = 7.3 - 2 × 1.4 = 4.5

At week 6 we have;

H = 4.5 + 6×1.4 = 12.9 inches

Which indicates that Plant A will be 0.9 inches taller than Plant B at week 6.

The correct option is therefore;

No, The greater rate of change of Plant A will result in it being 0.9 inches taller in 6 weeks.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: A standard equation is set up like this: Ax + By = C (where A, B, and C represent numbers). To find the slope (or the rate at which something changes) you must divide the value of A by the value of B (A / B).

What is the circumference of the circle if r = 3.5 feet? Use 22 7 for π.45 pts
Natasha_Volkova [10]
We know, Circumference of a Circle = 2πr
C = 2 * 22/7 * 3.5
C = 2 * 22/2
C = 2 * 11
C= 22

In short, Your Answer would be 22 Feet 

Hope this helps!
