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

Answer:

The rule says that to find the number of years required to double your money at a given interest rate, you just divide the interest rate into 72. For example, if you want to know how long it will take to double your money at eight percent interest, divide 8 into 72 and get 9 years.

Rewrite the given equation in standard form. f(x) = 5x2
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

a = 5, b = -3 and c =1

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is expressed as;

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

Given the expression

f(x) = 5x² = 3x - 1

f(x) =  5x² - 3x + 1

Comparing with the general formula;

ax² = 5x²

a = 5

bx = -3x

b = -3

c = 1

Hence a = 5, b = -3 and c =1
