A scientist conducting an experiment creates a table to record the growth of two plants. The scientist uses the equations below

to represent the growth of the plants, where w is the number of weeks of plant growth and h is the height of the plant in inches.
Plant 1:1.75 + 1/2w = h
Plant 2: 1.75 + 3/4w =h

Which describes the difference in the heights of the two plants in week 5?
Plant 1 is 1.25 inches taller than Plant 2.
Plant 2 is 1.25 inches taller than Plant 1.
Plant 1 is 1.75 inches taller than Plant 2.
Each plant is 1.75 inches tall.

Answer:  The correct option is (B) Plant 2 is 1.25 inches taller than Plant 1.

Step-by-step explanation: The equations representing the growth of the plants are given by

\textup{Plant 1: }\\\\1.75+\dfrac{1}{2}w=h~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\\\\textup{Plant 2: }1.75+\dfrac{3}{4}w=h~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

where, 'w' represents the number of weeks of plant growth and 'h' represents the height of the plant in inches.

We are to select the correct statement describes the difference in the heights of the two plants in week 5.

Substituting w = 5 in both the equations above, we have

\textup{Plant 1: }\\\\1.75+\dfrac{1}{2}w=h\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=1.75+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=1.75+2.5\\\\\Rightarrow h=4.25.

and

\textup{Plant 2: }\\\\1.75+\dfrac{3}{4}w=h\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=1.75+\dfrac{3}{4}\times 5\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=1.75+3.75\\\\\Rightarrow h=5.5.

Therefore, the difference between the heights of the plants is

5.5-4.25=1.25.

Thus, plant 2 is 1.25 inches taller than plant 1.

Option (B) is correct.

Plant 1 in 5th week = 1.75 + 1/2 (5) = 1.75 + 2.5 = 4.25
Plant 2 in 5th week = 1.75 + 3/4 (5) = 1.75 + 3.75 = 5.50

So, Difference = 5.50 - 4.25 = 1.25

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

using pythagorean inequalities, determine which set of the given three sides produces an acute triangle.
Kruka [31]
To solve this problem, you need to use the Phythagorean theorem c^2 is equal to the sum of a^2 and b^2. If a less than or equal to b and b is less than or equal to c or a^2 plus  b^2  is greater than c^2 then it is an acute angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ticket costs $8. 8 x 2 = 16, so 2 tickets cost $16. 8 x 3 = 24, so 3 tickets cost $24. The same thing goes for 4 tickets, and 5 tickets.

H(x) = (x2 − 49)(x + 4)
Maru [420]

Answer:

h(x) = x³ + 4x² - 49x - 196

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = (x² - 49)(x + 4) <== distribute

h(x) = x²(x) - 49(x) + x²(4) - 49(4)

h(x) = x³ - 49x + 4x² - 196 <== rewrite in standard form (descending degrees)

h(x) = x³ + 4x² - 49x - 196

Hope this helps!
