Grandpa joe started getting shorter in 2002 (let x=0). every year after that he shrunk 1/2 an inch. in 2008 he was 68 inches tall. write an equation to model this situation.

The equation to model the situation is

Solution:

Given, Grandpa Joe started getting shorter in 2002 (let x=0)

Height shrunken =

Present Height in 2008 = 68 inches

Now, let the number of years lived after 2002 be “t”  

Then, present height = height in 2002 – number of years lived x height shrunken

Since from 2002 to 2008 , it is 6 years span, so t = 6

68 inches = height in 2002 – 3 inches

Height in 2002 = 68 + 3 = 71 inches

So, grandpa is 71 inches tall in 2002

Then, our equation will be modified as present height

don't know what that says sorry i can't you

step-by-step explanation:

idk what it says

option: d is the correct answer.

d) none of the above.

step-by-step explanation:

clearly from the figure attached to the question we could see that there is no shape given. hence without any shape given in the figure and after rotation we can't obtained a square pyramid.

since, to obtain a image we need a proper figure of the pre-image so that it can be transformed.

hence, the correct answer is:

d) none of the above.
