The question is asking to calculate how fast is the water level rising when the water is 9 inches deep and base on the said question or problem, and in my own understanding and computation about the said problem, the speed of the rising of the water level is 24/63 feet per minute. I hope this would help
X-doubling periods
Y-height of bamboo
Y=ab^x
1) make a table of values
X Y
1 5
2 10
3 20
2) write equations and substitute
5=ab^1 —> a=5/b^1 —> a=5/b
10=ab^2
Substitute into second equation
10=(5/b)*b^2
10=5b^2/b
10=5b
b=2
Substitute back in
b=2
10=a*2^2
10=4a
a=5/2
End equation:
Y=5/2*2^x
Answer:
2
Number line.
We start at -6 or -8.
If we start from -6, we will be going __ spaces to the left until we get to -8.
Or start from -8 and go __ spaces to the right until you get to -6.
Then count the spaces.
You'll get 2.
Subtract these 2 equations,
5x-5x +3y-y = -4-6
2y = -10
y = -5
-5 is your answer.
The boundary line should be solid because it have a 'great/less than or equal to' sign
