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

Use the quadratic formula to find both solutions to the quadratic equation given below x^2+6x=27
docker41 [41]

Answer:

x=3 or x=−9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 27 from both sides.

x2+6x−27=27−27

x2+6x−27=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(x−3)(x+9)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

x−3=0 or x+9=0

x=3 or x=−9

Answer:

x=3 or x=−9

Find the midpoint of NP⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ given N(2a, 2b) and P(2a, 0).
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

(2a, b )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ \frac{1}{2}(x₁ + x₂ ), \frac{1}{2}(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = N(2a, 2b) and (x₂, y₂ ) = P(2a, 0), thus

midpoint = [ \frac{1}{2}(2a + 2a), \frac{1}{2}(2b + 0 ) ] = (2a, b )
