Answer:

h(t) = 12 inches + (1 inch/week)t; continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be described with a linear function. The initial value of the plant height is 12 inches, and the weekly growth is 1 inch/week.

Thus, if h(t) represents the plant height at the end of the t-th week,

h(t) = 12 inches + (1 inch/week)t

The slope is 1 inch/week, and is continuous, since plan growth is continuous.

Solve the system by graphing. Write the solution as an ordered pair. y = 1/3x + 2 y = –x – 2

Dima020 [189]

ANSWER

The solution is where the two graphs intersect, which is
$(-3,1).$

EXPLANATION

The given system of equations are
$y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2$
and

$y = - x - 2$

We need to graph the two equations.

Let us graph

$y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2$
first.

We need at least two points.

You can choose any appropriate value for x and solve for y. Choosing zero makes our working easier. So let us plot the intercepts.

When
$x = 0$

$\Rightarrow \: y = \frac{1}{3} (0) + 2$

$\Rightarrow y = 0 + 2$

$\Rightarrow y = 2$

So this gives us the ordered pair,

$(0,2)$

When
$y = 0$
we get,

$0= \frac{1}{3} x + 2$

$\Rightarrow \: - 2 = \frac{1}{3} x$

$\Rightarrow \: - 2 \times 3= x$

$\Rightarrow \: -6= x$
This also gives the ordered pair

$(-6,0).$

We plot these two points and draw a straight line through them to obtain the blue graph in the attachment.

For the second line

$y = - x - 2$

We again find the intercepts and plot them.

When
$x = 0$

$y = - 0 - 2$

$\Rightarrow \: y = - 2$

This gives the ordered pair

$(0,-2)$

Also, when
$y = 0$

then we have,

$0 = - x - 2$

$2 = - x$

$x = - 2$

Then we again have the ordered pair,

$(-2,0)$

We plot these two points on the same graph sheet to obtain the red graph above.

The intersection of the two lines is
$(-3,1)$

You will get good grades so don't worry much.

The circumference of circle 1 is 16 pi units. The circumference of circle 2 is 6 pi units. Which of the following is true about

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Area of Circle 1=>64(pi) units^2

Area of Circle 2=>9(pi) units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference=2(pi)r

Circle 1: 2(pi)r=16(pi)

Divide by 2(pi) on both sides

r=8 units

Area=(pi)r^2

Area of circle 1=>(pi)*(8^2)

Area of Circle 1=>64(pi) units^2

Circle 2: 2(pi)r=6(pi)

Divide by 2(pi) on both sides

r=3 units

Area=(pi)r^2

Area of circle 2=>(pi)*(3^2)

Area of Circle 2=>9(pi) units^2

15000(0.068÷12)(1+0.068÷12)^12×4(1+0.068÷12)^12×4 -1

zhuklara [117]

Answer: 1556.52935024

Step-by-step explanation: Pemdas

According to Khan Academy, "The order of operations is a rule that tells the correct sequence of steps for evaluating a math expression. We can remember the order using PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)."
