In Lily's garden, there are 5 rose bushes the first year. Each year, she adds two new rose bushes. She

Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of years since the first year and let y = the total number of plants.
Roses: y = 5 + 2x
Tulips: y = 20 – 3x
You can use elimination to solve.
y = 5 + 2x
(-)y = 20 – 3x
0 = -15 + 5x
15 = 5x
3 = x
This means that 3 years after the first year, the number of rose bushes equals the number of tulip plants.
The graphs appear to
intersect at (3, 11) which verifies that x=3

The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
the range is the y-value of the function
so
the lowest y-value on this graph is y = -2.
the answer is
y=-2
we know that
the range is the y-value of the function
so
the lowest y-value on this graph is y = -2.
the answer is
y=-2
The ball describes a parabola, as you can see in the attached picture. So, the point where the ball strike the ground is the point where the parabola meets the x axis. In fact, the x-axis is the set of points where y=0, which means that the ball has height 0 or -again- it hits the ground.
So, we have to set y=0 in our equation and look for the positive solution. We have
And the positive solution is
So that's the distance from the child where the ball strikes the ground.
