Answer: C) the y-intercept is the starting height of the plant

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation of a straight line, there is a slope (2) and a y intercept (5). The y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis. It is the starting point for the y values. The science class starts the experiment with the plant being 5 centimeters high and since this is the starting point/height, this is also the y intercept.

mel-nik [20]

Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

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

It <u>decreased by 30 cents</u> per week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The average <em>rate of change</em> is calculated as:

the <u>ratio of the sum of the change</u> in the three weeks <u>divided by</u> <u>the number of weeks. (</u>The <em>number of weeks</em> being <u>3</u>)

 <em>Rate of change</em> = \frac{-60 -10 -20}{3}.

(-60 + -10 + -20 = -90). So, to <em>simplify</em> it:

\frac{-90}{3} = <u><em>-30</em></u>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Incase you are confused:

Since the average <u>rate of change</u> is <em>negative</em>, this means that the <u>stock price</u> has <em>decreased</em>.

The function f describes the value of a sculpture after t years. The function g describes the value of a painting by the same ar
Anna11 [10]
H(t) = f(t) - g(t)
= 500(1.2)^t - 380(1.15)^t
Taking out the greatest common factor, which is 20:
= 20[(25)(1.2)^t - (19)(1.15)^t]
This is the third choice.

Note that you cannot subtract the bases of the exponents, for example (1.2^t - 1.15^t) cannot be simplified into something like 0.05^t.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the relative frequency below:

For NORTH - SOUTH:

Monday - Thursday = 115 ; has a relative frequency of 75.16%,

Hence, we can obtain the row total since it amounts to 100% thus;

75.16% of row total = 115

0.7516× row total = 115

Row total = 115 / 0.7516 = 153.00

Hence, Friday - sunday:

Row total - (Monday-Thursday)

153 - 115 = 38

FOR EAST - WEST:

Monday - Thursday = 21 ; has a relative frequency of 25.30%,

Hence, we can obtain the row total since it amounts to 100% thus;

25.30% of row total = 21

0. 253 × row total = 21

Row total = 21 / 0.253 = 83.00

Hence, Friday - sunday:

Row total - (Monday-Thursday)

83 - 21 = 62

x = (38 / 100) × 100%

x = 0.38 × 100%

x = 38.00 %
