Y = 2x + 5
If you take the height at 10 days, 25 centimeters, after 10 more days the height is 45 centimeters, meaning for those 10 extra days the been plant grown 20 centimeters. Since we're told the plant is growing at a constant rate, this shows the bean plant is growing 2 centimeters per day. We can represent this with y = 2x. (After 10 days, the bean plant will be 20 centimeters, after 20 days, the bean plant will be 40 centimeters, etc.)
However, this is not completely true yet. As you can see, after the first 10 days the plant is not 20 centimeter, it's 25 centimeters. We already know the rate in which the plant is changing, but now we need to find the height that the plant was originally, before it started growing.
After the first 10 days, the plant is 25 centimeters tall. Since we know that the plant is growing 2 centimeters per day, we can subtract 20 from 25 to find the original height of the bean plant.
25 - 20 = 5
The bean plant was originally 5 centimeters.
This makes our final equation y = 2x + 5.
2x is the slope, and 5 is the y intercept.
Hope this helps1!
Answer:
<u>The negative solution is -4</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = a number
4x = x² - 32 (4 times a number is 32 less than the square of that number)
2. Let's solve for x and find the negative solution:
4x = x² - 32
-x² + 4x + 32 = 0
x² - 4x - 32 = 0 (Multiplying by - 1)
(x - 8) (x + 4) = 0
(x₁ - 8) = 0
(x₂ + 4) = 0
x₁ = 8
<u>x₂ = -4</u>
<u>The negative solution is -4</u>

Answer=8.25 or 8 1/4
Area=103 1/8
Length=12 1/2
Okay, so we know the Area and Length of a rectangle, and are just trying to solve for the width.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is:
Area=length*width
Now lets fill in the data that we know
103 1/8=12 1/2 * width
to get the width by itself, divide both sides by 12 1/2
8.25=width
Answer=8.25 or 8 1/4
