Answer:

The equation representing how old Monique son is \mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

A linear function can be used to represent the constant growth rate of Monique Son.

i.e.

q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o

where;

q_o = initial height of Monique's son

\hat q = growth rate (in)

t = time

So, the average boy grows approximately 2 5/8 inches in a year.

i.e.

\hat q = 2 \dfrac{5}{8} \ in/yr

\hat q =  \dfrac{21}{8} \ in/yr

Then; from the equation q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o

34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times 0 + q_o

q_o = 34\  inches

The height of the son as a function of the age can now be expressed as:

q(t) = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t + 34

Then:

Making t the subject;

q - 34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t

t = \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)

and the age of the son  i.e. ( a (in years)) is:

a = 2 + t

So;

\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}

SO;

if q (growth rate) = 50 inches tall

Then;

\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(50-34)}

\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(16)}

a = 2 + 6.095

a = 8.095 years

a ≅ 8 years

i.e.

Monique son will be 8 years at the time Monique is 50 inches tall.

Makovka662 [10]
<h2>Verbal Phrase to Mathematical Phrase</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

10 +\frac{n}{6} = 15\\

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let that number be n.

The quotient of a number and 6 is \frac{n}{6}\\.

"Increased" is just another term for "plus (+)" so 10 increased by The quotient of a number and 6 is 10 + \frac{n}{6}\\

And it tells us that it is 15 so it must be 10 +\frac{n}{6} = 15\\
