When Vlad moved to his new home a few years ago, there was a young oak tree in his backyard. He measured it once a year and found that it grew by 26 centimeters each year. 4.5 years after he moved into the house, the tree was 292 centimeters tall. How tall was the tree when Vlad moved into the house? centimeters How many years passed from the time Vlad moved in until the tree was 357 centimeters tall? years

The tree was 175 centimeters tall when Vlad moved into the house.

7 years passed from the time Vlad moved in until the tree was 357 centimeters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the tree, in centimeters, in t years after Vlad moved into the house is given by an equation in the following format:

In which H(0) is the height of the tree when Vlad moved into the house and a is the yearly increase.

He measured it once a year and found that it grew by 26 centimeters each year.

This means that

So

4.5 years after he moved into the house, the tree was 292 centimeters tall. How tall was the tree when Vlad moved into the house?

This means that when t = 4.5, H(t) = 292. We use this to find H(0).

The tree was 175 centimeters tall when Vlad moved into the house.

How many years passed from the time Vlad moved in until the tree was 357 centimeters tall?

This is t for which H(t) = 357. So

7 years passed from the time Vlad moved in until the tree was 357 centimeters tall.

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.
