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=1.345+4. When will Olivia 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

The given equation y=1.345+4 represents the number of blooms (y) in relation to the amount of fertilizer (x) added to the soil. To find when Olivia will only have 4 blooms, we can substitute y=4 into the equation and solve for x.

4 = 1.345 + 4

Subtracting 1.345 from both sides:

4 - 1.345 = 4 - 1.345 + 1.345
2.655 = 8

Clearly, this equation is not possible. Therefore, the correct response is D: It is not possible for her to only have 4 blooms.

Answer 2

u sure

Answer 3

Apologies for the error. Let's re-evaluate the equation.

The equation given is y = 1.345x + 4, where y represents the number of blooms and x represents the amount of fertilizer in ounces.

To find when Olivia will only have 4 blooms, we substitute y = 4 into the equation and solve for x:

4 = 1.345x + 4

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

0 = 1.345x

Dividing both sides by 1.345:

0/1.345 = 1.345x/1.345

0 = x

This indicates that when Olivia adds no fertilizer (x=0), she will have 4 blooms.

Therefore, the correct response is A: When she adds no fertilizer.
