Select the correct answer. In which of the scenarios can you reverse the dependent and independent variables while keeping the i

nterpretation of the slope meaningful? A. As the number of cigarettes smoked in a day increases, the risk for lung cancer increases. B. As the age of an infant increases, the height of the infant increases. C. As the number of vehicles in a city increases, the amount of pollution in the city increases. D. As the concentration of salt in water increases, the density of water increases. E. As the number of calls made by a cell phone increases, the cell phone bill amount increases. Reset Next

Answer:

In Option A, we can see that the reverse may not be true as the increase in the risk for lung cancer may not necessarily mean an increase in cigarette smoked in a day. For example, high risk of lung cancer may be due to high exposure to asbestos dust too.

In Option B, again we can see that the reverse may not be true as an increase in the height of an infant does not necessarily mean that the age of the infant is increasing too. For example the infant may have a rapid gain in height even if the age is not increasing as rapidly.

In Option C, too, that an increase in the amount of pollution in a city does necessarily mean that the number of vehicles in the city has increased. For example, this increase in pollution may be due to the establishment of a high pollution causing industry in the city or in it's vicinity.

Likewise, in Option D, an increase in the density of water does not necessarily mean that the concentration of salt in the water has increased.

Only in Option E do we see a possible reverse dependence happening because an increase in the phone bill amount does usually mean an increase in the number of calls made by the cell phone.

So, in the given list of Options only in Option E can we reverse the dependent and independent variables while keeping the interpretation of the slope meaningful.

A biologist is studying the exponential growth of a colony of bacterial cells. The table gives the
leonid [27]

The exponential function that represents the number of cells present at x hours is y = 100(2)ˣ

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where a is the initial value and b is the multiplication factor.

Let y represent the number of cells after x hours.

From the table, at point (0, 100):

100 = ab⁰

a = 100

At point (1, 200):

200 = 100b

b = 2

The exponential function is y = 100(2)ˣ

Question down below thanks
lara [203]

Answer:

-x + 1 > 3, and 4x + 6 < -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality reads x < -2, so the arrow follows any values that are less than -2. So we need to simplify each inequality in the following options to see which match x < -2.

-4x+3> -5 simplifies to x < 2 so it's wrong

-2x + 4 > -4 simplifies to x < 4 so it's wrong

-x + 1 > 3 simplifies to x < -2, so it's right

2x + 5 < -3 simplifies to x < -4, so it's wrong

4x+ 6 < -2 simplifies to x < -2, so it's right

What is the circumference of a circular swimming pool with a diameter of 6 ½ feet? (use 22 over 7 as pi)
trapecia [35]

Answer:

10.21 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference of circle with diameter d is given by \pi d

where r is the radius of the circle.

_____________________________

given

diameter = 6 1/2 = 13/2 feet

\thus, circumference of circle is calculated as following

circumference = \pi *13/2 = 22/7 * 13/2\\circumference = 11*13/7*2 = 143/14 = 10.21

Thus, circumference of given circle is 10.21 feet.
