A tree grows exactly one half meter in height per year. The tree is currently 8 meters tall. If someone hammers a nail into the tree at a height of exactly 2 meters, how high will the nail be after 12 years of growth

2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

--- initial

--- rate

Required

The height of the nail after 12 years

The top of the tree will continue growing at the given rate, however, the height of the nail will remain unchanged.

This is so because when trees grow, they grow from the top; i.e. the heights are increased at the top while the bottom remains unchanged.

Hence, the height of the nail after 12 years in 2m

the one on the bottom left

step-by-step explanation:

all of the other ones have a specific pattern

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
