Answer:

1153.5 miles (first answer choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

'1000 miles east' is the change in x ('the run'), and '575 miles south' is the change in x (the 'rise').  Since these two vectors form a right angle, we can immediately apply the Pythagorean Theorem without worrying about signs:

d = √(1000² + 575²) = 1153.5 miles (first answer choice)

il63 [147K]
The answer would be 901 because they said what is the least number they would need to read and their goal is MORE than 900. The amount of books that they already had is useless information (Ignore). They love giving trick questions. :)

When purchased, the height of a Japanese maple sapling is 14 inches. The tree is expected to grow 2.5 inches each month. Which f
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial height of a Japanese maple sapling is 14 inches.

The tree is expected to grow 2.5 inches each month. This increase in height is linear, thus it is in arithmetic progression.

The expression for arithmetic progression is

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Where a = the first term of the series

d = common difference

Tn is the nth term of the series

n = the number of terms.

From the information given

a = 14 inches because it is the initial height of the tree

d = 2.5 because it is the difference in height between 2 consecutive months

n = m( number of months)

Tn = f(m)

function models the relationship between the height of the tree f(m) and the number of m months of growth will be

f(m) = 14 + 2.5(m-1)
