Answer:

12 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the heights of the plants be y

and the number of weeks be x

Plant A

y=3x+8.5--------------1

Plant B

y=2.5x+14.5----------2

Required

The number of weeks taken for both plants to have the same height

,equate the two expressions above

3x+8.5=2.5x+14.5

3x-2.5x=14.5-8.5

0.5x= 6

divide both sides by 0.5

x= 6/0.5

x= 12 weeks

What is the minimum y-value after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function? y = 1 y = 2 y
Alenkinab [10]

From the graph we can see that in the interval [0,1] the value of y is less than 1.

In the interval [1,2] the value of y value is 2 to 4.

In the interval [2,infinity) the graph is going up, and the value of y is greater than or equal to 4.

Therefore, the graph going up after y=4 above the line.

Therefore, the minimum y-value is 4 after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function.

How to convert 2.4 to radical form
DedPeter [7]
To convert 2.4 into a radical you have to write the equation;
2.4=√x; then you square both sides, to get x by itself, resulting in 5.8; and then you have to write; "2.4 in radical form is the square root of 5.8
