A tree of height y meters has, on average, B branches, where B = y - 2. Each branch has, on average, n leaves, where n = 2B^2 - B. Find the average number of leaves on a tree as a function of height.
Added by Christopher H.
Step 1
Then, we can substitute B into the equation for n to get n = 2(y - 2)^2 - (y - 2). Show more…

A tree of height y meters has approximately B branches, where B = y - 2. Each branch has approximately n leaves where n = 8B^2 - B. (a) Consider a tree of height 9 meters. Use the model above to find each of the following. Approximate number of branches: Approximate number of leaves on one branch: Approximate number of leaves on the tree: (b) Consider a tree of height y meters. Use the model above to find an expression for the approximate number of leaves on the tree. Give your answer in terms of y. This is an expression, so do not write n = in the answer field. Number of leaves on the tree:

A tree of height y meters has approximately B branches, where B = y - 4. Each branch has approximately n leaves where n = 8B² - B. (a) Consider a tree of height 10 meters. Use the model above to find each of the following. Approximate number of branches: Approximate number of leaves on one branch: Approximate number of leaves on the tree: (b) Consider a tree of height y meters. Use the model above to find an expression for the approximate number of leaves on the tree. Give your answer in terms of y. This is an expression, so do not write n = in the answer field.
