Please hurry I will mark you brainliest A sunflower plant is growing at a constant rate. It was 4cm tall after 1 month and 32 cm tall after
9 months.

a) Express the growth of the plant as a rate of change.

b) Write an equation to show this relationship

a) 3.5 cm / month

b y = 3.5(x-1) + 4, x >= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the plant grew 32-4 = 28 cm in 9-1 = 8 months.

so, the growth rate is 28 cm / 8 months = 7 cm / 2 months, or (to norm it to a typical 1 unit denominator) 3.5 cm per month.

x = months of growth

y = height of plant

so, considering the "start" of 4 cm after one month, the equation is

y = 3.5(x-1) + 4, x >= 1

since we don't know anything about anything that happened before the first month was over, we cannot validate this equation for anything x<1.

his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing. the garden is a right triangle with base 25m and height 30m. are you trying to solve for the last side/hypotenuse? the irrational form of the answer would be 5\sqrt{61}

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
