Answer:
(i) The length of AC is 32 units, (ii) The length of BC is 51 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) Let suppose that AB and BC are collinear to each other, that is, that both segments are contained in the same line. Algebraically, it can be translated into this identity:
If we know that and
, then:
The length of AC is 32 units.
(ii) Let suppose that AB and AC are collinear to each other, that is, that both segments are contained in the same line. Algebraically, it can be translated into this identity:
If we know that and
, then:
The length of BC is 51 units.
You did not include the graph.
Searching on internet I found a graph with which I can help you. I will solve the question using and so you can understand the problem and solve with the real graph.
1) The slope of line given the graph is calculated as:
slope = run / rise = Δy / Δx = constant.
2) So, you can choose any two points to calculate the slope.
3) Uisng the points (50,20) and (30,10) you get:
slope = [ 20 - 10] / [50 - 30] = 10 / 20 = 1/2
4) Note that that means that the plant grows 1 cm in 2 days
5) The rate of change is 1cm / 2 weeks.
With this you know how to calculate the slope, which is the same rate of change, and the meaning of it, which permits to answer the question from the complete statement and graph.
