A plant has an initial height of 2 inches and grows at a constant rate of 2 inches each month. A second plant that also grows at a constant rate has an initial height of 1 inch and is 29 inches tall after 1 year. After how many months are the plants the same height?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:4.8 monthsStep-by-step explanation:First, let's write down the information that we are given.Plant A: Initial Height: 3 in.Constant Rate of Growth (CRG): 2in/month (2 inches per month)Plant B:Initial Height: 1 in.CRG: 29in/year (29 inches per year)We can see that Plant B grows 29 inches per year, so lets convert Plant B's 'CGR' to months.Plant B - Divide by 12 (12 months in a year)29/12 in/yearNow, Lets put these into equations:Plant A: y = 2x + 3Plant B: y = 29/12 x + 1Now, set these two equations together and solve for x.2x + 3 = 29/12 x + 12 = 5/12 x4.8So, after 4.8 months, the plants will be the same height.

hope it helps you

What are the factors/zeros of a function?

They are given by the solutions of the function, that is, the values of x for which f(x) = 0.

In this problem, the function is given by:

f(x) = -2x² + 7x + 15.

Then:

-2x² + 7x + 15 = 0.

Which is a quadratic function with coefficients a = -2, b = 7, c = 15, hence:

[tex]\Delta = 7^2 - 4(-2)(15) = 169[/tex]

A restaurant owner washed 94 kilograms of vegetables, some spinach and some cucumbers. The spinach came in 10-kilogram bags and the cucumbers came in 9-kilogram bags. The owner washed 10 bags of vegetables in all. How many bags of each kind did he wash?

Answers

Answer:

6 bags of cucumber

4 bags of spinach

Step-by-step explanation:

let s = number of bags of spinach

let c = number of bags of cucumber

If the owner washed 10 bags of vegetables in total, then

s + c = 10

The spinach came in 10kg bags and the cucumbers came in 9kg bags, and the owner washing 94kg of veg in total:

10s + 9c = 94

Rewrite s + c = 10 to make s the subject, substitute it into 10s + 9c = 94, then solve for c:

s + c = 10

⇒  s = 10 - c

⇒ 10(10 - c) + 9c = 94

⇒ 100 - 10c + 9c = 94

⇒ -c = -6

⇒ c = 6

Substitute c=6 into s + c = 10 and solve for s:

s + 6 = 10

⇒ s = 4

=======================================================

Explanation:

The number [tex]7 \times 10^{10}[/tex] is the number 7 followed by 10 zeros

[tex]7 \times 10^{10} =[/tex] 70,000,000,000 = 70 billion

According to statista.com, there are roughly 229 million drivers in the US (based on a 2019 survey).

Divide the two amounts to get:

(70 billion)/(229 million) = (70*1000 million)/(229 million) = 305.677 approximately

This indicates that each driver uses about 306 gallons of gas per day.

This value is way too high.

Therefore, the initial claim does not make sense.

------------

Upon further research, the site eia.gov states that Americans use about 337 million gallons of gasoline per day (not 70 billion).

Notice how (337 million)/(229 million) = 1.472 approximately which is far more realistic. It makes more sense to have any given driver use somewhere between 1 or 2 gallons of gas per day. Of course, all of this depends on the person's location from home to work, the amount of traffic, etc.

2. Find the area of the shaded region. Express your answer in terms of

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the rectangle. A = length * width

Find the area of each circle.   A = π*radius*radius

Subtract the area of each circle from the area of the rectangle.

A = length * width

A = (3+6+9+12) * 18

A = 30 * 18

A = 540 square inches

Bottom circle

A = π * radius * radius.  (radius is 1/2 of the diameter)

A = 3.14 * 6 * 6

A = 133.04 square inches

Middle circle

A = π * radius * radius

A = 3.14 * 4.5 * 4.5

A = 63.59 square inches

Top circle

A = π * radius * radius

A = 3.14 * 3 * 3

A = 28.26 square inches

Subtract the circles from the rectangle.

540 - 133.04 - 63.59 - 28.26 = 315.11 square inches is the area of the shaded part.

Ethan's monthly salary is $1850. In a particular month, he spent 20.5% of his salary on room rental, $690 on food and $940 on other expenses. Express the amount that he overspent as a percentage of his monthly salary, giving your answer correct to 2 decimal places.​

Answers

Answer:

He overspent 8.61% as a percentage of his monthly salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

8.61% (2 dp)

Step-by-step explanation:

Salary = 1850

Food = 690

Other = 940

Rent = 20.5% = 20.5/100 = 0.205

Therefore, 20.5% of the salary = 0.205 x 1850 = 379.25

Total spent = 690 + 940 + 379.25 = 2009.25

Percent change = [ (difference between initial and final value) ÷ initial value] x 100

=[(2009.25 - 1850) ÷ 1850] x 100 = 8.61% (2 dp)

how maNY solutions do these equations have? No solution, one solution, infinite solutions.

a) y = 2x + 3 and y = -2x + 11

b) y = x + 2 and -2x + 2y = 4

c) y = x - 3 and y = x + 6

d) y = 7 and y =3x-5

e) y = -4x and y = -4x - 1

Answers

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y = 2x + 3 and y = -2x + 11

 One solution.  They are straight lines with different slopes, so they will intersect at some point.  

b) y = x + 2 and -2x + 2y = 4

  -2x + 2y = 4 can be rearranged to 2y = 2x +4 and then y = x + 4

    Both lines have the same slope, 1.  They are parallel and will never meet.  No solutions.

c) y = x - 3 and y = x + 6

 This has the same answer as c.  Parallel lines (both have slopes of 1.).  They will never meet:  no solutions.

d) y = 7 and y =3x-5

One solution.  Straight lines with different slopes (3 and 0) so they will cross at one point.  [At (4,7)]

e) y = -4x and y = -4x - 1

Same slopes.  There are no solutions.

Miles is buying a chair that regularly costs $250. Today the chair is on sale for 30% off. The sales tax of 6% is taken on the sales price. What will be the total cost, including tax, if Miles buys the chair today. (I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. BUT I NEED THE WORK FOR THE ANSWER TO SHOW MY TEACHER) (the answer is $185.50)

Answers

Step-by-step Explanation:

First find out what is the price after 30% off.

250 · 0.3 = 75

250 - 75 = 175

Then find the tax and add it on. Remember to calculate the tax AFTER  the discount.

175 · 0.06 = 10.50

175 + 10.50 = 185.50

Bedroom area

Lenght = 5 squares

= 5 × 1/4 inchi

= 5/4 inchi

Width = 4 squares

= 4 × 1/4 inchi

= 1 inchi

Large area = 5/4 × 1 inchi

= 5/4 inchi

Living room

Lenght = 7 squares

= 7 × 1/4 inchi

= 7/4 inchi

Width = 4 squares

= 4 × 1/4 inchi

= 1 inchi

Large area = 7/4 × 1 inchi

= 7/4 inchi

Total Area

Bedroom area + Living room area

= 5/4 + 7/4

= (5+7)/4 inchi

= 12/4 inchi

= 3 inchi

1 square yard = 1296 square inches

so 1 square inches = 1/1296 square yard

3 inchi = 3×1/1296

= 3/1296

= 1/432

Cost = 1/432 × $18

= $1/24

It would cost $1/24 to carpet the bedroom and living room.
