A giant bamboo plant grew an average of 18 centimeters per year.The botanist started measuring the plant when it was 5 centimeters tall. If "Y" represents the number of years the botanist has measured the plant,what expression represents its height?Solve,and show each step.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: h=height
y=number of years.

we have the next expresion:
h(y)=my+b

m=the slope of the line, in this case, the slope is equal to "18"; (18 cm/ year).
b=the initial heigth, in this case, the initial heigth is equal to "5" (5 cm).

Therefore, our expression will be:
h(y)=18y +5

answer: h(y)=18y+5

Let h(x) = -2x - 5. If h(x) = -25, find x

Answers

Answer:

10 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h(x) = -2x - 5. If h(x) = -25

-25 = -2x-5

Solve for x

Add 5 to each side.

-25+5 = -2x-5+5

-20 = -2x

Divide by -2

-20/-2 = -2x/-2

10 =x

5. Joan asked 30 randomly selected adult restaurant customers about their choice of beverages. 18 customers said coffee is their favorite beverage. If the restaurant serves 200 adult customers per day, estimate the number who will choose coffee to drink.A. 100
B. 110
C. 120
D. 130

6. You are surveying students to find out their opinion of the quality of food served in the school cafeteria. You decide to poll only those students who buy hot lunch on a particular day. Is your sample random? Please explain

Answers

5. If 18 customers out of 30 prefer coffee, we can find the ratio that will be used to estimate how many customers out of 200 will prefer coffee. We can do this by dividing 18 by 30 to give us 0.6. Then, we multiply 200 by 0.6 to give us 120. Therefore, the answer is 120.

6. No, your sample is not random, as you are only asking how the food is for students that only buy hot lunches. If it was random, you'd be asking any student how the food is, not just specifically one group of people.

the answer for the first question would be c) 120
