<em>y</em> - 1/<em>z</em> = 1 ==> <em>y</em> = 1 + 1/<em>z</em>
<em>z</em> - 1/<em>x</em> = 1 ==> <em>z</em> = 1 + 1/<em>x</em>
==> <em>y</em> = 1 + 1/(1 + 1/<em>x</em>) = 1 + <em>x</em>/(<em>x</em> + 1) = (2<em>x</em> + 1)/(<em>x</em> + 1)
<em>x</em> - 1/<em>y</em> = <em>x</em> - (<em>x</em> + 1)/(2<em>x</em> + 1) = (2<em>x</em> ² - 1)/(2<em>x</em> + 1) = 1
==> 2<em>x</em> ² - 1 = 2<em>x</em> + 1
==> 2<em>x</em> ² - 2<em>x</em> - 2 = 0
==> <em>x</em> ² - <em>x</em> - 1 = 0
==> <em>x</em> = (1 ± √5)/2
If you start solving for <em>z</em>, then for <em>x</em>, then for <em>y</em>, you would get the same equation as above (with <em>y</em> in place of <em>x</em>), and the same thing happens if you solve for <em>x</em>, then <em>y</em>, then <em>z</em>. So it turns out that <em>x</em> = <em>y</em> = <em>z</em>.
The answer is A) The original height of the plant was 4 mm
Answer:
∠Q = ∠U = 60°
Step-by-step explanation:
Construct the figure QSUT with your own dimensions as long as QR ≅ RU and SR ≅ RT , where R is the common midpoint.
I choose QR = 4 cm and SR = 5 cm
Then measure ∠Q and ∠U to check if they are equal.
I got that ∠Q = ∠U = 60° proving that;
∠Q ≅ ∠U
