You observe the heights of two plants for an experiment. Plant A has a height of 8 centimeters and grows 1 centimeter each week. Plant B has
a height of 4 centimeters and grows 2 centimeters each week. Let x represent the number of weeks and let y represent the height of the
plant
a. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation
System of equations:
b. Will the plants ever have the same height?

Answers

Answer 1

Using linear functions, it is found that:

a)

[tex]y_A(x) = 8 + x[/tex]

[tex]y_B(x) = 4 + 2x[/tex]

b) They will have the same height after 4 weeks.

A linear function has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change.b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

Item a:

Plant A has a height of 8 centimeters and grows 1 centimeter each week, hence:

[tex]y_A(x) = 8 + x[/tex]

Plant B has  a height of 4 centimeters and grows 2 centimeters each week, hence:

[tex]y_B(x) = 4 + 2x[/tex]

The system is:

[tex]y_A(x) = 8 + x[/tex]

[tex]y_B(x) = 4 + 2x[/tex]

Item b:

Equaling the equations:

[tex]y_A(x) = y_B(x)[/tex]

[tex]8 + x = 4 + 2x[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

They will have the same height after 4 weeks.

SNACKS The face of the popcorn box can be modeled with an isosceles trapezoid with QR=3x+2.5, RS=9x−4.8 , ST=4x−2 , and QT=6x+1.2.

Answers

Answer:

TQ=SR [since it is isosceles trapezoid]

6x+1.2=9x-48

48+1.2=9x-6x

3x=49.2

x=49.2/3=16.4

now

QR=3×16.4+2.5=51.7

SR=9×16.4-48=99.6

ST=4×16.4-2=63.6

TQ=6×16.4+1.2=99.6

As it's isosceles trapezoid

QT=RS9x-4.8=6x+1.23x=6x=2

Now

QR=3(2)+2.5=8.5

RS=9(2)-4.8=13.2

ST=4(2)-2=6

QT=6(2)-1.2=10.8

Triangle ABC has vertices A(-2,0), B(2,5), C(3, 1). The reflection of the image of triangle ABC is triangle A'B'C' with vertices A(-2,0), B12, -5), C73.
-1). What is a rule that describes the reflection?

Answers

Answer: Reflection about x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initially, vertices are [tex]A(-2,0), B(2,5),C(3,1)[/tex]

After reflection they become [tex]A(-2,0),B(2,-5),C(3,-1)[/tex]

It is clear that the x coordinate remains unchanged and the y coordinate changes its sign. It occurs when reflection is done about the x-axis.

For example, when (a,b) is reflected about the x-axis, it becomes (a,-b).

So, here reflection is being done about the x-axis.

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys to girls is 2:3

and there are 18 boys so that means the 2 in 2:3 is actually 18

and 2 x 9 = 18 , so you would need to also multiply 3 by 9.

3 x 9 = 27

18:27

there are 27 girls

A cooler shape of a rectangular prism. What is the volume of the cooler? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

Volume of the cooler = 2,772 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cooler = length × width × height

Length = 22 in

Width = 12 in

Height = 10 1/2 in

= 21/2

= 10.5 in

Volume of the cooler = length × width × height

= 22 in × 12 in × 10.5 in

= 2,772 in³

Volume of the cooler = 2,772 in³

Answers

Answer:

(-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution of two functions, you need to know at which x and y value they are equal. So solve for x and y when 1/3x - 1 = 2x + 4

1/3x - 1 = 2x + 4

First, subtract 2x from both sides.

-5/3x - 1 = 4

Add one to both sides.

-5/3x = 5

Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of -5/3 (3/-5)

x = -3

Then, substitute x into one of the equations to get y.

1/3(-3) - 1

-1 - 1 = -2

So drag the dot to the point (-3, -2)

My brainy brother and sister added their ages together and got 15. When they multiplied their ages together, they got 54. How old is the older one between the two of them?

Answers

Given:

Sum of ages of brother and sister = 15

Product of their ages = 54

To find:

How old is the older one between the two of them?

Solution:

Let x be the age of brother and y be the age of sister.

Sum of ages of brother and sister = 15

[tex]x+y=15[/tex]

[tex]x=15-y[/tex]                ...(i)

Product of their ages = 54

[tex]xy=54[/tex]

[tex](15-y)y=54[/tex]                [Using (i)]

[tex]15y-y^2=54[/tex]

[tex]0=54-15y+y^2[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]54-15y+y^2=0[/tex]

[tex]54-9y-6y+y^2=0[/tex]

[tex]9(6-y)-y(6-y)=0[/tex]

[tex](6-y)(9-y)=0[/tex]

Using zero product property, we get

[tex](6-y)=0\text{ and }(9-y)=0[/tex]

[tex]y=6\text{ and }y=9[/tex]

If [tex]y=6[/tex], then using (i), we get

[tex]x=15-6[/tex]

[tex]x=9[/tex]

If [tex]y=9[/tex], then using (i), we get

[tex]x=15-9[/tex]

[tex]x=6[/tex]

Therefore, the age of older one is 9, the age of younger one is 6 and the difference between their ages is 3.

A plane is travelling at 180 metres per second. How many minutes will it take for the plane to travel 800km? Give your answer in the nearest minute.

Answers

Answer:

79 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A plane is travelling at 180 meters per seconds

Convert to km/hr

180× 18/5

= 648 km/hr

Since 648 km equals 1 hour then the number of minutes required for the plane to travel 800 km is

= 1/648 × 800

= 1 hour 19 minutes

Conver the time to full minutes

60 minutes = 1 hour

= 60+19

= 79 minutes

Hence the minutes required for the plane to travel 800km is 79 minutes
