<h3><u>Given :-</u></h3>

<u />

  • Height of the tree = 42 inches.
  • Height of the tree after 6 years = 15 feet 6 inches.

<h3><u>To Find :-</u></h3>

<u />

  • Number of inches the tree grew each year.

<h3><u>Solution :-</u></h3>

<u />

Height of the tree after 6 years,

→  15 feet 6 inches = 186 inches.

→  186 - 42 = 144 inches.

Height of the tree after 1st year = 144/6 = 64

∴ The tree grows 24 inches in each year.

Two sets of three consecutive integers have a property that the product of the larger two is
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

{1, 2, 3},  {3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Write expressions for three consecutive integers:  n, n + 1, n + 2.

Set up an equation for the verbal description: the product (mulitplication) of the two larger integers (the last two) is one less than 7 times the smallest (the first one).

(n + 1)(n + 2) = 7n - 1

Multiply (FOIL) the left side.

n^2 + 3n + 2 = 7n - 1

Subtract 7n and subtract 1 to make the right side 0.

n^2 - 4n + 3 = 0

Factor.

(n - 1)(n - 3) = 0

Set the two factors equal to 0

n - 1 = 0,  n - 3 = 0

Solve for n.

n = 1,  n = 3

One set of integers begins with 1, so it's {1, 2, 3}.

The other set begins with 3, so it's {3, 4, 5}

10(2^×) + 7(3^×) = 6^× + 70​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

x = 2.81 and 2.096

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

10(2^x) + 7(3^x) = 6^x + 70​

This can also be expressed as;

10(2^x) + 7(3^x) = (2*3)^x + 70

10(2^x) + 7(3^x) = 2^x*3^x + 70

Let a  = 2^x and b = 3^x

10a + 7b = ab + 70

10a + 7b - ab = 70

10a-ab + 7b - 70 = 0

a(10-b)+7(b-10) = 0

a(10-b)-7(10-b) = 0

a-7 = 0 and 10-b = 0

a = 7 and b = 10

Since a = 2^x

7 = 2^x

log 7 = log2^x

log7 = xlog2

x = log7/log2

x = 2.81

Similarly

10 = 3^x

log 10 = log 3^x

log 10 = xlog3

x = log 10/log 3

x = 1/0.4771

x = 2.096

Hence the values of x that satisfies the equation are 2.81 and 2.096

A company logo is made up of a square and three identical triangles. What is the area of the logo? Enter your answer in the box.
garri49 [273]
Given:
square with sides measuring 7 cm.
3 triangles attached to three sides of the square. A line bisecting one triangle is measured at 4 cm.

Area of a square = s² = (7cm)² = 49 cm²

Area of a triangle = hb/2 = (4cm*7cm)/2 = 14 cm² 
Area of the 3 triangles = 14 cm² x 3 = 42 cm²

Total area of the logo = 49 cm² + 42 cm² = 91 cm²
