The thief originally stole 64 plants.
<h3>What is arithmetic?</h3>
In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.
Here,
Let the number of plants originally stolen by the thief be x.
On the way out, the thief meets three security guards, one after another. To each security guard, the thief is forced to give one-half of the plants that he still had, plus 2 more.
Here,
For gourd 1 the planet is given = 1/2 x
For gourd 2 the planet is given = 1/2 * 1/2 x = 1/4 x
For gourd 3 the planet is given = 1/2*1/4 x = 1/8 x
Total plant given to the gourds = 1/2x +1/4x +1/8x + 2 = 7/x/8x +2
Finally, the thief leaves the nursery with 10 plants
x - 7x/8 + 2 = 10
x/8 = 8
x = 64
Thus, the thief stole 64 plants.

A2= 1
a3=-3
a4=-7
the common difference is -4
The slope is -3/2
Use the two ordered pairs (-2,0) and (0,-3) and do y2-y1/x2-x1
-3-0/0+2= -3/2
Answer:
f(x) = 3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
That's easy to find out. You have your input number, which is your x value, and you have your output number which is your y value (or f(x)).
All you have to do is see if each of the proposed answer works for ALL entries in the data set.
f(x) = 3x + 2
for x = 3 ===> 11 = 3 (3) + 2 = 11 YES
for x = 5 ===> 17 = 3 (5) + 2 = 17 YES
for x = 7 ===> 23 = 3 (7) + 2 = 23 YES
for x = 9 ===> 29 = 3 (9) + 2 = 29 YES
f(x) = 2x + 5
for x = 3 ===> 11 = 2 (3) + 5 = 11 YES
for x = 5 ===> 17 = 2 (5) + 5 = 15 NO - we stop here for this function
f(x) = x + 7
for x = 3 ===> 11 = (3) + 7 = 10 NO - we stop here for this function
f(x) = 3x + 1
for x = 3 ===> 11 = 3 (3) + 1 = 10 NO - we stop here for this function
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = a|x-h| + k
(h,k) is the vertex
There's no standard formula for absolute values. I just made it up as an example, pretty much.
Since a is negative, the function opens downward.
h = -2, k = 0, so the vertex is at (-2,0)
