Question

Olivia is growing roses and keeps track of how much fertilizer (in ounces) she adds to the soil and how many blooms each rose bush has. She finds a linear relationship that can be modeled by the equation Y=1.345x+4 When will Olivia only have 4 blooms?

A When she adds no fertilizer.When she adds no fertilizer.
B Every bush will only have 4 blooms.Every bush will only have 4 blooms.
C When she only adds 1 ounce of fertilizer.When she only adds 1 ounce of fertilizer.
D It is not possible for her to only have 4 blooms.

Answer 1

To find the point at which Olivia will only have 4 blooms, we need to set the equation equal to 4 and solve for x:

4 = 1.345x + 4

Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get:

0 = 1.345x

Dividing both sides by 1.345, we find:

0/1.345 = x

0 = x

Therefore, Olivia will only have 4 blooms when she adds no fertilizer. Answer choice A is correct:

A) When she adds no fertilizer.
