Can someone please help me in this question

a. 26 cm²

b. 55 cm²

c. 78 cm²

d. 89.27 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The shape can be decomposed into two rectangles

Area of the larger rectangle = L*W

L = 7 cm

W = 2 cm

Area of the larger rectangle = 7*2 = 14 cm²

Area of the smaller rectangle = L*W

L = 4 cm

W = 5 - 2 = 3 cm

Area of the larger rectangle = 4*3 = 12 cm²

Area of the compound shape = 14 + 12 = 26 cm²

b. The shape can be decomposed into a rectangle and a triangle.

Area of the compound shape = area of rectangle + area of triangle

= L*W + ½*b*h

L = 8 cm

W = 5 cm

b = 5 cm

h = 14 - 8 = 6 cm

Plug in the values

Area = 8*5 + ½*5*6

Area = 40 + 15

= 55 cm²

c. The shape can be decomposed into a rectangle and a trapezoid

Area of the compound shape = area of the rectangle + area of the trapezoid

= L*W + ½(a + b)h

L = 12 cm

W = 3 cm

a = 12 cm

b = 9 cm

h = 4 cm

Plug in the values

Area = 12*3 + ½(12 + 9)4

Area = 36 + 42

Area = 78 cm²

d. The shape can be decomposed into a rectangle and a semicircle

Area of the compound shape = area of the rectangle + area of the semicircle

= L*W + ½(πr²)

L = 10 cm

W = 5 cm

r = ½(10) = 5 cm

Plug in the values

Area = 10*5 + ½(π*5²)

Area = 50 + 39.27

Area = 89.27 cm²

part a

answer: a reasonable domain is where n is a real number. so n can be between 0 and 10. both endpoints are included.

work shown:

n is the number of days after the experiment starts. the smallest n can be is n = 0 which means that 0 days have gone by, and we're at the start. to find out how large n should be, then replace f(n) with 16.13 and solve for n. use logarithms to isolate the exponent.

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13 = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13/12 = (1.03)^n

1.34416666666667 = (1.03)^n

(1.03)^n = 1.34416666666667

log[ (1.03)^n ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n*log[ 1.03 ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]/log[ 1.03 ]

n = 10.0062999823929

this rounds to n = 10 which is fairly close but not 100% perfect. so this is the largest n can be.

note: if you plug n = 10 into f(n), you'll get roughly 16.127 which rounds to 16.13 (this comes up again in part c)

=====================================

part b

answer: the y intercept is 12. it represents the starting height of the plant in cm.

work shown:

plug n = 0 into the f(n) function. simplify

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(0) = 12*(1.03)^0

f(0) = 12*(1)

f(0) = 12

on day n = 0, aka the starting point, the height f(n) is 12 cm

=====================================

part c

answer: the average rate of change is approximately 0.43061036458991 (round however you need to). this represents the average growth rate from day n = 3 to day n = 10. so the plant grew roughly 0.43 cm per day during this timespan, assuming you round to 2 decimal places.

work shown:

compute f(3)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(3) = 12*(1.03)^3

f(3) = 13.112724 < we'll use this later

compute f(10)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(10) = 12*(1.03)^10

f(10) = 16.1269965521294 < we'll use this later

now use the formula below with a = 3 and b = 10

aroc = average rate of change

aroc = [ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]

aroc = [ f(10) - f(3) ]/[ 10 - 3 ]

aroc = (16.1269965521294 - 13.112724)/(10 - 3)

aroc = 3.0142725521294/7

aroc = 0.43061036458991

round this however you need to

note: the plant grew approximately 3.01 cm over 7 days, so roughly 0.43 cm per day is the average growth rate (if you were to round to 2 decimal places).
