Question

h my! This next one is a rough!! the yearly production of a 6 foot orange tree is 20 lbs. of oranges. A 16ft. tree produces 94 lbs. let h represent the height of an orange tree and p the number of lbs. of oranges produced. Use the information to answer the question. list the ordered pairs what is the ordered pair for the first tree?
p-20=37/5_h-6) OR
p-20=-37/5(h-6) OR
p=37/5h-122/5 OR
p-6=5/37(h-20)

Answer 1

h,p
(6,20) is what they are using for the slope point form

so its either the first or second one

Answer 2

10 by 74 is how the slope changes; 74/10 = 37/5 and its positive

id go with the first one

Answer 3

Thank you!! that was right but now its asking what is the predicted production of an 18 foot tree in pounds?

Answer 4

that is best suited with another form i think... or at least easier to me :)

Answer 5

p = 37(18)/5 -37(6)/5 +20 = 108.8 perhaps

Answer 6

It counted that as wrong. :/

Answer 7

Nevermind, I forgot to round it, lol.

Answer 8

well I could have made a mistake :)

Answer 9

lol

Answer 10

Now its asking the predicted production of a 20 ft. tree in lbs.

Answer 11

I hate word problems! I ALWAYS get them wrong!

Answer 12

h = 20;

p = 37(20)/5 - 37(6)/5 +20 = 123.6 .. dont forget to round

Answer 13

p = 7.4h - 24.4 is the standard looking equation ... maybe

Answer 14

I wish I could keep you for my other assignments. I'm two weeks behind and don't understand the work. I might very well go crazy, lol!

Answer 15

i plugged the formula into my "ti-83" and got a table to go by now :)

Answer 16

What is the predicted height(in feet) of a tree that produces 88 lbs. of oranges?

Answer 17

15 high = 86.6
16 high = 94

so its inbetween there

Answer 18

Would I add those and divide by 2?

Answer 19

90.3?

Answer 20

It counted 90 wrong. :/

Answer 21

88p = 15.189... tall

Answer 22

So I would put that as 16?

Answer 23

It counted 16 wrong.

Answer 24

Any ideas???
