Answer: y = 3 + 2(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A plant is 3 inches tall when you purchase it and grows 2 inches per month. The growth rate per month is linear, thus it is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where a is the first term of the sequence.

n is the number of terms of the sequence.

d is the common difference.

From the information given,

a = 3 inches (original height when it was purchased)

d = 2 inches( growth rate per month)

n = x (number of months)

Tn = y( the height in x months)

The equation that represents the length y (in inches) of a plant that you purchased x months ago will be

y = 3 + 2(x - 1)

Explain The probability of tossing a prime number when you toss the cube with numbers one through six
asambeis [7]
Probability is  (desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes)

ok, you must make a choice
1. if you believe that 1 is prime (which I don't) go to AAAAAAAAAAA
2. if you believe that 1 is NOT prime, go to BBBBBBBBBBB


AAAAAAAAAAAA
prime numbers from 1 to 6 are
1,2,3,5
desired outcomes=4
total possible =6
4/6=2/3


BBBBBBBBB
prime numbers from 1 to 6 are
2,3,5
3 desired outcomes
6 total possible

3/6=1/2


if you belive that 1 is prime, then 2/3 is probability
if you believe that 1 is NOT prime then 1/2 is probability

Simply<br> tan 45°. sin 30° - cot 45°/sec 60°​
dusya [7]

If we want to write the given four numbers in another form, we can write it like this;

tan45=sin45/cos45=1

sin30=sin(\frac{\pi }{2}-60 )=cos60=\frac{1}{2}

cot45=cos45/sin45=1

sec60=1/cos60=\frac{1}{1/2} =2

Now let's rewrite the given expression and get the result.

(tan45.sin30)-(cot45/sec60)=(1.\frac{1}{2})-(\frac{1}{2} )=0

A field with an area of 2880 ft^2 has the shape of a rectangle, whose length is 12 ft larger than its width. Find the dimensions
tiny-mole [99]

ANSWER

w=48,l=60

EXPLANATION

Let the width of the field be, w , then,

the length of the field will be:

l = 12 + w

The area of a rectangle is

Area = lw

This implies that:

w(12 + w) = 2880

Expand

{w}^{2}  + 12w = 2880

{w}^{2}  + 12w  -  2880 = 0

(x + 60)(x - 48) = 0

This implies that,

w =  - 60 \: w = 48

The dimensions are positive, the width is 48 and the length is 12+48=60
