Question

Patricia has two plants A grows 2 inches per month & plant B grows 1.8 meters in a year [1.8 meters=39.37 in]
part A; which plant grows faster? justify your answer by comparing the rate of which the plants grow after converting to the same units.
part B; if the original height of the plant was 2in , and you checked on its height every 15 days, describe appropriate scales on the x-axis and y-axis to graph the rate at which the slower growing plant increases in height. assumes that height of the plant increases linearly

Answer 1

Part A : plant A grows 2 inches, while plant B grows 39.37 inches a year

Answer 2

wait sorry plant A grows 2 inches per month so 2 X 12 = 24 inches in a year

Answer 3

thank you for helping me (:

Answer 4

sorry couldn't understand part B

Answer 5

its ok

Answer 6

what math level is this so i can get a clearer understand of the problem?

Answer 7

algebra 1. algebra foundations

Answer 8

ohh i think in this problem the height should be represented on the y-axis and the 15 days should be represented on the x-axis. It only makes sense this way

Graphically the linear equation should be y = 15x + 2

Answer 9

linear equation is shown as y = mx + b

Answer 10

have you learned recently the y = mx + b?

Answer 11

yes but this question just left me blank. I couldn't get it.

Answer 12

yeah just remember that in almost most case, what you recently learn is what you may need to apply in hw questions

Answer 13

ok thank you (:

Answer 14

welcome anytime
