A park has a ginkgo tree, a dogwood tree, and 2 blue spruce trees. The blue spruce trees are 8 years old. The ginkgo tree is 2 years less than three times the age of the dogwood tree. The ginkgo tree is also half the sum of the ages of the dogwood tree and both of the blue spruce trees. Write and solve an equation to find the ages of the ginkgo and dogwood trees.

step-by-step explanation:

8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8=68719476736

the given growth  function for the length of the fish (cm) is

f(m) = 5(1.07)m = 5.35m

where 

m = months

at the end of the study, the length is 9.19 cm. the  time for conducting the study is determined as

5.35m = 9.19

m = 1.7178 months

part a.

the study was performed over a time period  of about 1.72 months. therefore  the domain for  plotting the function is 0 < = m < = 1.72.

note:

if growth  continues at this rate for up to m months, then the domain would be 0< =m< =m.

part b.

the growth function is a linear function.

when m=0, f=0.

therefore the initial growth is zero, which represents the y-intercept.

part c.

assume that the growth function is valid for 0< =m< =9.

the average rate of change of the function is the slope of the linear function, which is 5.35 cm/month.
