In her garden Pam plants the seed 5 and one fourth in. Below the ground. After one month the tomato plant has grown a total of 11 and one half in. How many inches is the plant above the ground?

the plant is 6 1/4 inches above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

In her garden Pam plants the seed 5 and one fourth inches below the ground. Converting 5 and one fourth inches to improper fraction, it becomes 21/4 inches.

After one month the tomato plant has grown a total of 11 and one half inches. Converting 11 and one half inches to improper fraction, it becomes 23/2 inches.

The height of the the plant above the ground would be

23/2 - 21/4 = (46 - 21)/4 = 25/4

Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

6 1/4 inches

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6

step-by-step explanation:

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.
