The function is not treated as linear because whenever we throw the thing in the air it traces the path of the parabola which is quadratic. Then the quadratic equation is y = -1.25x² + 7.35x + 3.2.

<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>

It is a polynomial that is equal to zero. Polynomial of variable power 2, 1, and 0 terms are there. Any equation having one term in which the power of the variable is a maximum of 2 then it is called a quadratic equation.

The following scatter plot represents the height of a basketball in seconds during a free throw shot.

(a) A student chose to model the data with the function, y = 0.9286x + 9.0571 . Then the function is not treated as linear because whenever we throw the thing in the air it traces the path of the parabola which is quadratic.

(b) Write a function

We know that the quadratic equation is given as ax² + bx + c = y

This will pass through the points (1, 9.3), (2, 12.9), and (3, 14). Then we have

\rm a + b + c = 9.3  \ \ \  \ \ \ \ ...1\\\\4a + 2b + c = 12.9 \ \  \ ...2\\\\9a + 3b + c = 14 \  \ \ \ \ \ ...3

On solving the equations 1, 2, and 3. Then we have

a = -1.25, b = 7.35, and c = 3.2

Then the quadratic equation will be

y = -1.25x² + 7.35x + 3.2

More about the quadratic equation link is given below.

With a short time remaining in the day a delivery driver has to make deliveries at 5 locations among the 6 locations remaining.
nika2105 [10]
The delivery driver has to make deliveries at 5 locations <span>among the 6 locations. </span>This means the order of the probability is important because the route he will take from A to B is different with A to C.
So, you need to use permutation for this problem. The calculation would be:
6P5= 6!/ (6-5)!= 720 different routes

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

YTM = 5.45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the yield to maturity.

Mathematically;

Annual coupon=1000*4.3%=43

YTM=[Annual coupon+(Face value-Present value)/time to maturity]/(Face value+Present value)/2

=[43+(1000-870)/18]/(1000+870)2

=5.45%
