Let’s work with some actual data this time. Go online to research and find a set of real-world data in two variables. The data c

an be in tabular form or in a scatter plot. Choose data that has a reasonable number of data points so you’re able to uncover trends. For the purposes of this activity, the data must not show a linear association. Describe the data you’ve identified in a sentence or two, and include a link to the data. then create a scatter plot of your data.
Identify the function from part B that best fits the scatter plot of your real-world data. why did you choose the function that you did in part c? explain your answer.

The quadratic regression equation that best fits the data set is y = 32.86x² - 379.14x  + 1369.14

<h3>The data points </h3>

The following table of values represents the data points that would be used to solve this question:

x 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

y 470 416 403 226 314 338 693

Where:

  • x represents years since 2000
  • y represents the annual revenue of a manufacturing company in thousand dollars

<h3>The function of the dataset</h3>

The table of values illustrates a quadratic function.

The function would be calculated using a graphing calculator

From the graphing calculator, we have:

a = 32.86; b = -379.14 and c = 1369.14

A quadratic regression equation is represented as:

y = ax² + bx + c

So, we have:

y = 32.86x² - 379.14x  + 1369.14

Hence, the quadratic regression equation that best fits the data set is y = 32.86x² - 379.14x  + 1369.14

<h3>Why the function type was chosen?</h3>

From the table of values in (a), we can see that as x increases; the value of y decreases and then increases after it reaches a minimum.

This illustrates the behavior of a quadratic regression function

See attachment for the scatter plot

Line segment GT contains the point G(−3, 5) and a midpoint at A(1, −4). What is the location of endpoint T?
algol [13]

Imagine you're moving along the segment. Since the midpoint is in the middle of the segment (obviously), it means that when you've traveled from G to A, you're halfway through your journey, along both x and y directions. So, let's break the problem in two and analyze both directions.


Along the x axis, you've moved from -3 to 1, so you moved 4 units forward. This means that you have 4 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate 5.


Similarly, along the y axis, you've moved from 5 to -4, so you moved 9 units downward. This means that you have 9 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate -13.


So, the coordinates of the endpoint are T = (5,-13)


If you prefer a more analyitical approach, simply write the definition of the midpoint and solve it for the coordinates of T.


We have G = (-3, 5) and T = (x_T,y_T). The midpoint is computed as


A = \left( \frac{-3+x_T}{2},\frac{5+y_T}{2} \right) = (1, -4)


So, you have the equations


\frac{-3+x_T}{2} = 1,\qquad \frac{5+y_T}{2} = -4


Multply both equations by 2 to get


-3+x_T = 2,\qquad 5+y_T = -8


Move the constants to the right hand sides to get


x_T = 5,\qquad y_T = -13

If the area of the rectangle shown is given by the expression 3x2 + 72 - 6and the width is (a + 3), which of the
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

3x - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length = area / width.

The area 3x^2 + 7x - 6 = (3x - 2 )(x + 3)

so the length =  (3x - 2 )(x + 3 ) / x + 3

= 3x - 2.
