Sarah described the following situation: The function below models the correlation between the number of hours a plant is kept in sunlight (x) and the height (y), in mm, to which it grows: y = 2 + 4x What does the y-intercept of this function represent? The original height of the plant was 4 mm. The original height of the plant was 2 mm. The height of the plant increases by 2 mm for every hour of sunlight it receives. The height of the plant increases by 4 mm for every hour of sunlight it receives

step-by-step explanation:

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24

step-by-step explanation:

yes it represnts a functio, their are not 2 of the same numbers on the both sides

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,

mrb
