Someone help, what’s 1+1?

Plant A: A graph has time (weeks) on the x-axis, and height (inches) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 3), (1, 4.8),

butalik [34]

Answer:

The correct option is;

No, The greater rate of change of Plant A will result in it being 0.9 inches taller in 6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Plant A:

Weeks, Height

0, 3

1, 4.8

2, 6.6

3, 8.4

The rate of change of height, H per week, t, $\left (\dfrac{dH}{dt} \right )$ for plant A per week is therefore;

$\dfrac{dH}{dt} = \dfrac{H_n - H_{(n-1)} }{t_n - t_{(n-1)}} = \dfrac{8.4 - 3 }{3 - 0} = \dfrac{5.4}{3} = 1.8 \ inches/week$

Therefore we have;

H = 1.8 × t + 3

At week 6,

H = 3 + 6×1.8 = 13.8 inches

Plant B

Weeks, Height

2, 7.3

3, 8.7

4, 10.1

The rate of change of height, H per week, t, $\left (\dfrac{dH}{dt} \right )$ for plant B per week is given as follows;

$\dfrac{dH}{dt} = \dfrac{H_n - H_{(n-1)} }{t_n - t_{(n-1)}} = \dfrac{10.1 - 7.3 }{4 - 2} = \dfrac{2.8}{2} = 1.4 \ inches/week$

Therefore we have;

When t = 2, H = 7.3 hence, 7.3 = 2 × 1.4 + H₀

Where:

H₀ = H at t = 0

H₀ = 7.3 - 2 × 1.4 = 4.5

At week 6 we have;

H = 4.5 + 6×1.4 = 12.9 inches

Which indicates that Plant A will be 0.9 inches taller than Plant B at week 6.

The correct option is therefore;

No, The greater rate of change of Plant A will result in it being 0.9 inches taller in 6 weeks.

2. In 2010, the population of a town is 8500. The population decreases by 4.5% each year.

Korvikt [17]

This exponential growth/decay (in this case decay because r<1) of the form:

f=ir^t, f=final value, i=initial value, r=common ratio or "rate", t=time.

Since the population decreases by 4.5% each year the common ratio is:

r=(100-4.5)/100=0.955 so we can say

P(t)=8500(0.955^t)

....

7000=8500(0.955^t)

14/17=(955/1000)^t taking the natural log of both sides

ln(14/17)=t ln(955/1000)

t=ln(14/17)/ln(955/1000)

t≈4.22 years (to nearest hundredth of a year)

Since t is the years since 2010, the population will fall to 7000 in the year (2010+4.22=2014.22, more than four years will have elapsed) 2015.
