A gardener measured the heights of two plants at the end of every week. The function y=3x+8.5 gives the hight of plant a in cent
imeters at the end of x weeks. The function y= 2.5x+14.5 gives the hight of plant b in centimeters at the end of x weeks
1 answer:
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

The table tells you that f(x)=0 at x=-6 and -2
Volume of cone = pi* r^2 *h/3
If you double the height ;
New volume = pi * r^2 * 2h/3
So, new volume will be twice as much.
Add like terms and then simplify
the ratio would be as follows
40:16
or
5:2
Worded there are five kids who choose to swim to every 2 kids that choose art.
this could also be written as a fraction 40/16 = 5/2
