How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, scientists examined data on sea surface temperatures

and coral growth per year at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Scientists examined data on mean sea surface temperatures (in degrees Celsius) and mean coral growth (in centimeters per year) over a several‑year period at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The table shows the data for the Gulf of Mexico.
Sea surface temperature 26.7 26.6 26.6 26.5 26.3 26.1
Growth 0.85 0.85 0.79 0.86 0.89 0.92

(c)Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 more centimeters of coral growth per year.

(d) Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

The correlation coefficient tells that every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Using technology

The mean= x bar = 26.4667

The mean = y bar= 0.86

The standard deviation= Sx= 0.2251

The standard Deviation Sy=  0.0438

The Correlation Coefficient= r = -0.8111

The slope= b= r* Sy/Sx= -0.15789

The intercept is 5.0389

(d)<u><em> Every increase </em></u>in sea <u><em>surface temperature</em></u> of one degree Celsius will result in an average of <em><u>0.1578 fewer</u></em> centimeters of <em><u>coral growth</u></em> per year.

Here the independent variable is X the sea surface temperature and dependent variable is the Y coral growth.

As the temperature decreases which is along x- axis the growth increases along y axis.

From the given options the option d is the best answer according to the question given.

The same values are calculated using different technology .

Amar wants to make lemonade for a birthday party. He wants to mix 12 tablespoons of sugar in water. He only has a teaspoon which
o-na [289]

Answer:48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amar wants 12 tablespoons of sugar in water.

Amar has teaspoon whose four times is equivalent to 1 tablespoon

i.e. 4\ \text{teaspoon}\equiv 1\ \text{tablespoon}

therefore

12 tablespoon is 4\times 12

\Rightarrow 4\times 12

\Rightarrow 48\ \text{teaspoons}

So, amar need to add 48\ \text{teaspoons} for lemonade

Solve this equation for x: 2x^2 + 12x - 7 = 0
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

x=0.5355 or x=-6.5355

First step is to: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve this equation: 2x^2 + 12x - 7 = 0

On observation, the trinomial is not factorizable so we use the Completing the square method.

Step 1: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides

2x^2 + 12x - 7+7 = 0+7\\2x^2 + 12x=7

Step 2: Divide the equation all through by the coefficient of x^2 which is 2.

x^2 + 6x=\frac{7}{2}

Step 3: Divide the coefficient of x by 2, square it and add it to both sides.

Coefficient of x=6

Divided by 2=3

Square of 3=3^2

Therefore, we have:

x^2 + 6x+3^2=\frac{7}{2}+3^2

Step 4: Write the Left Hand side in the form (x+k)^2

(x+3)^2=\frac{7}{2}+3^2\\(x+3)^2=12.5\\

Step 5: Take the square root of both sides and solve for x

x+3=\pm\sqrt{12.5}\\x=-3\pm \sqrt{12.5}\\x=-3+ \sqrt{12.5}, $ or $x= -3- \sqrt{12.5}\\$x=0.5355 or x=-6.5355
