An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 9 years of growth and shaping. The growth rate during those 9 years is approximated by
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3,
where t is the time (in years) and h is the height (in centimeters). The seedlings are 10 centimeters tall when planted (t = 0).
(a) Find the height after t years.
h(t) =
(b) How tall are the shrubs when they are sold?
cm

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) After t years, the height is

18t² + 3t + 10

(b) The shrubs are847 cm tall when they are sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given growth rate

dh/dt = 1.8t + 3

dh = (18t + 3)dt

Integrating this, we have

h = 18t² + 3t + C

When t = 0, h = 10cm

Then

10 = C

So

(a) h = 18t² + 3t + 10

(b) Because they are sold after every 9 years, then at t = 9

h = 18(9)² + 3(9) + 10

= 810 + 27 + 10

= 847 cm

Answer:

C). $3523.83

Step-by-step explanation:

loan of principles p= $9,300,

at rate R= 12 1 /8 % interest

Rate R = 12.125%

for duration year T = 37.5 months

T= 37.5/12 = 3.125 years

Interest I=PRT/100

Interest I =( 9300*12.125*3.125)/100

Interest I = (352382.8125)/100

Interest I = 3523.83

Interest I= $3523.83
