Answer:
1 year.
Step-by-step explanation:
set up an expression for each in terms of x, where x is the number of years gone by.
for type a, it starts at 5 feet, and grows 9 inches per year.
so 5 + 9x = total height after x years
for type b, it starts at 8 feet and grows 6 inches per year, so 8 + 6x = total height after x years.
we want to find after how many years will they have the same so set them equal to each other and solve for x.
9x + 5 = 6x + 8
3x = 3
x = 1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) y = 3x + 1
When x = -1 , y = 3*(-1) + 1
= -3 + 1
y = -2
(-1 , -2)
When x = 0 , y = 3*0 + 1
y = 1
(0 , 1)
When x = +1 , y = 3*1 + 1
= 3 + 1
y = 4
(1 , 4 )
Plot these points in the graph and join the points.
2) y = 2x -1
When x = -1 , y = 2*(-1) - 1
= - 2 - 1
y = -3
(-1 , -3)
When x = 0, y = 2*0 - 1
y = -1
(0 , -1)
When x = +1 , y = 2*1 -1
= 2 - 1
y = 1
(1 , 1)
