Answer:it will take the two plants 6 weeks before the heights are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill planted two flowers in her garden.

The first flower is 2 inches tall, and it is growing 2.25 inches each week. Since the growth rate is in an arithmetic progression, we will apply the formula for finding the nth term of the series

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Tn = the nth height of the first flower

a = the initial height of the first flower

d = the common difference in height of the first flower weekly

n = number of weeks

From the information given,

For the first flower,

a = 2

d = 2.25

Tn ?

n ?

Tn = 2 + (n - 1)2.25

For the second flower,

a = 5.75

d = 1.5

Tn ?

n ?

Tn = 5.75 + (n - 1)1.5

To determine the number of weeks that it will take until the two plants are the same height, we would equate Tn for both flowers. It becomes

2 + (n - 1)2.25 = 5.75 + (n - 1)1.5

2 + 2.25n - 2.25 = 5.75 + 1.5n - 1.5

Collecting like terms

2.25n - 1.5n = 5.75 - 1.5 - 2 + 2.25

0.75n = 4.5

n = 4.5/0.75

n = 6 weeks

You are hiking and are trying to determine how far away the nearest cabin is, which happens to be due north from your current po
Margaret [11]

Answer:

336.7 yards away from the cabin....

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle 30.7° is also the angle of the upper interior angle of the triangle (near the cabin)

Use the tan function:

opposite = 200 yards

adjacent = x

tan(30.7°) = (opposite / adjacent)

tan(30.7°) = 200 yards/x

x * tan(30.7°) = 200 yards

x = 200 yards/ tan(30.7°)

x= 200/ 0.594

x = 336.7 yards.

336.7 yards away from the cabin....

(5,60)(10,40)
slope = (40 - 60) / (10 - 5) = - 20/5 = -4

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -4
(5,60)...x = 5 and y = 60
now we sub and find b, the y int
60 = -4(5) + b
60 = -20 + b
60 + 20 = b
80 = b

equation is : y = -4x + 80
function form : f(x) = -4x + 80...where x = number of weeks and f(x) = loads of waste removed
