Answer:
A. Plant 1 is growing at a faster rate than Plant 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope (m) or rate of growth in Plant 1 is;
m = Change in y ÷ change in x
m = 
= 2
The linear equation of growth in Plant 1 is;
= 2
y = 2x + 1.5
The equation of growth in Plant 2 is; y = 1.5x + 3 (slope of 1.5)
Since the slope in growth of Plant 1 is greater than that in Plant 2, it implies then that Plant 1 is growing at a faster rate than Plant 2.

Answer:
10.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the possible rational roots and use synthetic division to find the first zero.
I chose x=1 (which represents the factor "x-1")
1║2 -7 -13 63 -45
║ 2 -5 -18 45
2 -5 -18 45 0
(x-1) is a factor, (2x³ - 5x² - 18x + 45) is the other factor.
Use synthetic division on the decomposed polynomial to find the next zero.
I chose x = 3 (which represents the factor "x-3")
3║2 -5 -18 45
║ 6 3 -45
2 1 -15 0
Using synthetic division, we discovered that (x-1), (x-3), & (2x² + x -15) are factors. Take the new decomposed polynomial (2x² + x -15) and find the last two factors using any method.
Final Answer: (x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2x-5)
Area: (2x - 7) * (3*2 + 4x)
(2x - 7) * (6 + 4x)
8x-42
Perimeter: 2(2x - 7) + 2(3*2 + 4x)
