A scientist is studying the growth of a particular species of plant. He writes the following equation to show the height of the

plant f(n), in cm, after n days:. . f(n) = 15(1.04)n. . Part A: When the scientist concluded his study, the height of the plant was approximately 20.53 cm. What is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function? . . Part B: What does the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(n) represent? . . Part C: What is the average rate of change of the function f(n) from n = 1 to n = 5, and what does it represent?

We are given an equation <span> f(n) = 15(1.04)^n where f(n) is the plant height in cm and n is the number of days since the day planted. The domain of the plant is a set including 0 to positive infinity. The y-intercept of the graph is when n = 0 or equal to 15. when n is 1, f(n) is equal to 15.6 . when n is 5, f(n) is equal to 18.25. the rate of change is (18.25-15.6)/(5-1) equal to 0.66</span>

Number 6 the y intercept is 50 because that’s the point where it crosses the y axis and 7 I believe it would be D= 200

One of the legs of a right triangle is twice as long as the other, and the perimeter of the triangle is 35. Find the
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

6.68, 13.37, 14.95

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs is twice as long as the other.

b = 2a

The perimeter is 35.

35 = a + b + c

The triangle is a right triangle.

c² = a² + b²

Three equations, three variables.  Start by plugging the first equation into the second and solving for c.

35 = a + 2a + c

c = 35 − 3a

Now plug this and the first equation into the Pythagorean theorem:

(35 − 3a)² = a² + (2a)²

1225 − 210a + 9a² = a² + 4a²

1225 − 210a + 4a² = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

a = [ -(-210) ± √((-210)² − 4(4)(1225)) ] / 2(4)

a = (210 ± √24500) / 8

a ≈ 6.68 or 45.82

Since the perimeter is 35, a = 6.68.  Therefore, the other sides are:

b ≈ 13.37

c ≈ 14.95

A rectangle has length that is 5 less than 2 times the width. Write an expression for the area of the rectangle.
a_sh-v [17]

We are given a relationship between the sides of a rectangle, that is, the length of one of its sides is 5 less two times its width, and we are asked to find an expression for the area. Let's remember that the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its side by its width. Let "w" be the length of the rectangle and "L" its lenght, then the area is given by the following formula:

A=Lw

We can use the relationship given in the problem, that is, its length being five less two times its width, that is:

L=5-2w

Replacing in the formula for the area we get:

A=(5-2w)w

Now we use the distributive law:

A=5w-2w^2

8/3 = 3 (c + 5/3) how to solve step by step
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8/3=3(c+5/3)

multiply both sides by 3

8=9(c+5/3)

divide both sides by 9

8/9=c+5/3

subtract 5/3 from both sides

c=8/9-5/3

change 5/3 to 15/9

c=8/9-15/9

c=-7/9
