Answer:

x = 2 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2 + sqrt(x - 2)

x - 2 = sqrt(x - 2)                  You could divide both sides by sqrt(x - 2)

sqrt(x - 2) = 1                        Square both sides

x - 2 = 1                                Add 2 to both sides

x = 3

There is a second way.

x - 2 = sqrt(x - 2)                 Square

x^2 - 4x + 4 = x - 2             Transfer x - 2 to the left

x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0                   Factor

(x - 2)(x-3)      = 0                 Find the roots.

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

We have to check both results.

x = 2 + sqrt(x - 2)

2 = 2 + sqrt(2 -2)

2 = 2 + 0

2 = 2    This seems to work.

x = 2 + sqrt(x - 2)

3 = 2 + sqrt(3 - 2)

3 = 2 + sqrt(1)

3 = 2 + 1

3 = 3  And this works.

Answer:

1) On the x-axis, the arm span is plotted. On the y-axis, the height is plotted. It is chosen to be that way because the numbers on that have been assigned on the x-axis increase and decrease in a small amount, while the numbers on the y-axis increase and decrease in a huge amount.

2) (lolz i cant show u my work but i will try my best with explanations even tho ian allat.) So, Using the slope formula, I got a the equation y=x+15. The equation was determined with the formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1. The points that were used included (37,40) and (47,50). After finding the slope, I did the best guess for the y-intercept, which is known as b in y=mx+b.

3) The slope of the line represents the time it takes for the arm span and the height. The y-intercept represents the height that the arm span starts developing or gets bigger.

4) It fits perfectly

5) The data is pretty inconsistent.

6)  About 68-69 inches tall

7)About 71-72 inches wide
