Question

The lenght of a turtles shell z, in millimeters, is related to the turtles age in years a , as described by the equation below.

s=55a+37
Which statements about the turtle are true?
Select 3

Answer 1

B, C , F

Explanation:

The age multiplied 55, so the shell grows at rate of 55mm per year

in fact if the age is 2 we have (55 x 2) = 55 + 55

if 3 = (55 x 3) = 55 + 55 + 55

and so on

When the turtle is hatched the shell is 37 mm in lenght.

In fact, if we substitute 0 to a, we have

s = (55 x 0) + 37

s = 37

when the turtle is 1 year old, the shell is 92 mm in length.

in fact if we substitu a with 1, we have

s = (55 x 1) + 37

s = 55 + 37

s = 92
