A vine 6cm. tall is planted in a garden. It grows 4cm. a day. How many days will it take to reach 112cm. in height?
for this problem you need an equation first
the starting equation for the plant is \[112=4x+6\] because you need to get to 112, the plant starts at 6 cm, and it rises 4 cm per day
now try to sole the equation
x=53/2 ?
|dw:1403570986932:dw|
26.5
yes so it will take 26.5 days
thanks :)
anytime
Which of the following is not a literal equation? a.x=y+3 b.x^2+y^2=z^2 c.n+n=10 d.(a/b)=1
which equation wouldn't be linear in this case
we see A is linear because it's equation is the same as y=x-3
which other one would be linear
thats what we are asking you.
B has exponents so it's not linear on a graph the lines would be curved therefore, which is not a literal equation?
Ok, thank you very much! I understand now!
no problem
