An experiment compares the height of two plants over time. A plant was 2cm tall at the beginning of the experiment and grew 0.5

centimeters each day. The functions f(t)=0.5+2 represents the height of the plant in centimeters after t days . Which plant for f, or g was growing faster ?

Answer:

Plant F;

Plant G;

Plant G

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Plant F :

f(t)=0.5x+2

From the growth graph given for the second plant ; plant G

Point 1 (0, 5) ; point 2(16, 9)

Slope = Rise / Run = (9 - 5) / (16 - 0) = 4 / 16 = 0.25

Intercept = 5 ( point where fitted line crosses the y-axis)

Linear slope intercept relation : y = mx + c

m = slope ; c = intercept

g(x) = 0.25x + 5

The slope value of plant F = 0.5

Slope value of plant G = 0.25

F > G

Hence, F is growing at a faster rate

The starting height is given by the intercept value of the two equations ;

Plant F, intercept = 2

Plant G, intercept = 5

G > F

Hence, G was taller, to begin with

Height after 8 days :

x = 8

f(8)=0.5(8)+2

f(8) =  4 +2 = 6

g(8) = 0.25(8) + 5

g(8) =  2 + 5 = 7

Hence, G was taller after 8 days

Which of the following is true of the discriminant for the graph below
aniked [119]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is used to determine the number and nature of the zeros of a quadratic. If the discriminant is positive and a perfect square, there are 2 rational zeros; if the discriminant is positive and not a perfect square, there are 2 rational complex zeros; if the discriminant is 0, there is 1 rational root; if the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots.

The roots/solutions/zeros of a quadratic are where the graph goes through the x axis. Those are the real zeros, even if they don't fall exactly on a number like 1 or 2 or 3; they can fall on 1.32, 4.35, etc. They are still real. If the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative and you can't take the square root of a negative number. As you can see on our graph, the parabola never goes through the x-axis. Therefore, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative. Choice C.  Get familiar with your discriminants and the nature of quadratic solutions. Your life will be much easier!

Can someone please write this as a single logarithm and show work please and thank you
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:  

log_b(w^3y^4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the expression as a single logarithm, or condense it, use the properties of logarithms.  

1) The power property of logarithms states that log_ax^r = rlog_ax. In other words, the exponent within a logarithm can be brought out in front so it's multiplied by the logarithm. This means that the number in front of the logarithm can also be brought inside the logarithm as an exponent.  

So, in this case, we can move the 3 and the 4 inside the logarithms as exponents. Apply this property as seen below:

3log_bw+4log_by\\=log_bw^3+log_by^4

2) The product property of logarithms states that log_axy = log_ax+log_ay. In other words, the logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its factors. So, in this case, write the expression as a single logarithm by taking the log (keep the same base) of the product of w^3 and y^4. Apply the property as seen below and find the final answer.  

log_bw^3+log_by^4\\=log_b(w^3y^4)

So, the answer is log_b(w^3y^4).

How many x intercepts appear on the graph of this polynomial function? f(x)=x^4-5x^2 1 x intercept 2 x intercepts 3 x intercepts
Bumek [7]
You can find the number of x intercepts by setting f(x) equal to zero giving you 0=x^4-5x^2. You can factor out an x^2 and divide on both sides (when you divide 0 by anything it is still zero so the x^2 disappears), and you are left with 0=x^2-5, which you can solve easily giving you x=+/- sqrt(5). However, the original equation also has an x intercept at (0,0) which you can see by plugging 0 in for x. So the grand total of x intercepts is 3!
