Answer:

33 inches tall (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a ratio to simplify the situation:

  75 in. tall                 x in. tall

----------------------  =  ---------------------

50 in. shadow       22 in. shadow

Cross multiply:

75 (22) = 50 (x)

1650 = 50x

33 = x

x = 33 in. tall

Give a rule for finding the first of four consecutive integers if you know the sum of the four integers.
tankabanditka [31]

If we write the first integer as the variable n, all numbers that come after it can be written as n+1, n+2, etc.

so the sum of four consecutive integers is:

sum = n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3)

if we simplify:

sum = 4n +6

and if we want to know what the first integer is, we can re-write the equation as:

\frac{sum-6}{4} = n

and that is your answer.

Ella measured the height of a in inches every week for four weeks after planting it what is the best prediction for the height o
ehidna [41]

Complete question is;

Elle Measured the height of a plant, in inches,Every week for four weeks after planting it.

The height of the plant, h, in inches, Can be modeled by the function h(t) = 1.5t + 3, where t represents the time in weeks.

Based on this model, what is the best prediction for the height of the plant after 12 weeks?

A 16.5 inches

B 21 inches

C 22.5 inches

D 27.3 inches

Answer:

Option B: 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function h(t) = 1.5t + 3, where t represents the time in weeks.

At t = 0;

h(0): 1.5(0) + 3 = 3inches

At t = 1;

h(1): 1.5(1) + 3 = 4.5 inches

Thus, after 12 weeks, height will be;

h(12): 1.5(12) + 3 = 21 inches

Option B is correct

bearing in mnd that for the point-slope form, you can always fill it in with either x₁, y₁, or x₂, y₂, either one will do.
