Answer:

The cost of one rose is $11., and the cost of one geranium is $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of one rose bush and one geranium can be determined by the use of simultaneous equation. Let the cost of a rose bush be represented by x, and the cost of one geranium by y.

So that,

13x + y = 148 .............. 1

9x + 14 y = 169 ............... 2

From eqaution 1,

y = 148 - 13x ............... 3

substitute the value of y in equation 2

9x + 14(148 - 13x) = 169

9x + 2072 - 182x = 169

2072 - 169 = 182x - 9x

1903 = 173x

x = \frac{1903}{173}

  = 11

x = 11

substitute the value of x in equation 3

y = 148 - 13x

  = 148 - 13(11)

  = 148 - 143

y = 5

x = 11, y = 5

Thus, the cost of one rose is $11., and the cost of one geranium is $5.

What is the explicit equation for f(0)=8; f(×)=f(×-1)*3
andriy [413]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

f(x) = 8 * 3^x


Discussion:

x = 0:      f(x) = 8

x = 1:       f(1) = f(0) * 3 = 8*3

x = 2:      f(2) = f(2-1)*3 = f(1) * 3 = (8*3)*3 = 8 * 3^2

x=3 :       f(3) = f(3-1)*3 = f(2)*3 = (8 * 3^2) * 3 = 8 * 3^3

Based on this we guess that

f(x) = 8 * 3^x


Thank you,

MrB
