A plant is already 54 centimeters tall, and it will grow one centimeter every month. The plant's height, H (in centimeters), after M months is given by the following. What is the plant's height after 13 months?

67 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the initial height of the plant let's call it H.

H = 54 cm. This is the original height of the plant at M(months) = 0.

We are given that it grows at 1 cm/month. This is the rate of growth.

Rate = 1

Time (M) is given in Months.

So when M = 0, H = 54

Let's say M = 1, That is one month has passed. In this time the plant's height would have increased by 1 cm. So our plant's height would be H = 54+1 = 55 cm.

When Two months have passed our plant's height would be H = 54 + 2 = 56 cm , since every month our plant gains 1 cm in Height, we can make a fuction for this.

H = 1M + 54.

Now we just plug in 13 for M, to get 13 months.

H = 13 + 54

H = 67 cm

So our plant would be 67 cm in height after 13 months.

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
