Answer:

  13 in by 51 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the product of the dimensions, so is ...

  663 = x(4x -1)

  4x^2 -x -663 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 663 to put in standard form

Using the quadratic formula, we can find the solutions.

  x = (-(-1) ±√((-1)^2 -4(4)(-663)))/(2(4))

  x = (1 ± √10609)/8 = (1 ±103)/8

Only the positive solution is of any use in this problem, so ...

  x = 104/8 = 13

  4x-1 = 4(13)-1 = 51

The dimensions of the rectangle are 13 inches by 51 inches.

The scatter plot shows the amount of sunlight some tomato plants received and the amount of each plant grew
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached herewith.

Also the options for the same are as follows -

What is the meaning of the slope of the trend line shown on the scatterplot?  

A A plant grows about 3 inches for every 2 hours of sunlight it receives.  

B A plant grows about 2 inches for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.  

C A plant grows about 3 inches for every 1 hour of sunlight it receives.  

D A plant grows about 1 inch for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

Solution

If we look at the graph, we can see that in 6 hours the tomato plant grew by 2 inches.

At the X axis, when x = 6 hours, the y co-ordinate at X = 6 hours is 2 inches.

Hence, It can be interpreted that 1 inch of the tomato plant grows in 3 hours.

Hence, option D is correct
