The type of polynomial that would best model the data is a cubic polynomial. (Correct choice: D)

<h3>What kind of polynomial does fit best to a set of points?</h3>

In this question we must find a kind of polynomial whose form offers the best approximation to the point set, that is, the least polynomial whose mean square error is reasonable.

In a graphing tool we notice that the least polynomial must be a cubic polynomial, as there is no enough symmetry between (10, 9.37) and (14, 8.79), and the points (6, 3.88), (8, 6.48) and (10, 9.37) exhibits a pseudo-linear behavior.

Which equation would graph as a straight line? x2 – y = 0 y = x 2y = x2 y=1/2×2-1 x2 = 0

Gwar [14]

Answer:

y=1/2×2-1

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 – y = 0 yields a parabola.

y = x is straight but has a slope to make it increase/decrease.

2y = x2 yields a parabola.

x2 = 0 yields a parabola.

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=2x-7 and passes through the point (6, 5)

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a equation of a line

we want to figure out the equation of the perpendicular line passes through the (6,5) points

in order to do so

recall that,

$\displaystyle m_{ \text{perpendicular}} = - \frac{1}{m}$

we got from our given equation that m=2

because equation of a line is y=mx+b

thus

$\displaystyle m_{ \text{perpendicular}} = - \frac{1}{2}$

remember that, when we want to figure out perpendicular line or parallel line we should the formula given by

$\displaystyle y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$

since we got our perpendicular m is -½, $x_1=6$ and $y_1=5$ , substitute

$\displaystyle y - 5 = - \frac{1}{2} (x - 6)$

to get the perpendicular equation you should simplify the above equation to y=mx+b form

distribute -½:

$\displaystyle y - 5 = - \frac{1}{2} x + 3$

add 5 to both sides:

$\displaystyle y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 8$

hence,

our answer choice is B

A 180-watt iHome® is used on an average of three hours a day. Find the cost of listening to the iHome for one week at a cost of

IgorLugansk [536]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is:

A. $0.49

From the statement, we know that the iHome is used on average three hours a day, and we are asked to find the cost for a week, so first, we need to calculate the total hours that the iHome is used for, and then, calculate the kilowatt-hour consumption rate.

$TotalTime_{week}=3\frac{hours}{day} *7days=21hours$

$TotalEnergyConsumption_{week}=180watt*21hours=3780watt.hour$

Now, we must remember that:

$1Kilowatt=1000watts$

So,

$3780watts=3780watts.hour*\frac{1KiloWatt}{1000watts}=3.78KiloWatt.hour$

Then, calculating the cost, we have:

$TotalCost_{week}=0.13\frac{dollar}{killowat.hour}*3.78killowat.hour=0.49(dollar)$

Hence, we have that the correct option is:

A. $0.49

Have a nice day!

Given three points A(-7, 1), B(m, 6) and P(-1, n). If the point P divides AB internally in the ratio of 3: 2, find the values of

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

m = 3 , n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Section Formula.

$If \ the \ line \ segment \ AB \ where \ A = (x _1, y_1) \ and \ B = (x_2, y_2) \ divided \ by \ P =(x , y) \ in \ the \ ratio \ a : b,\\\\Then \ the \ points \ of \ P \ \\\\x = \frac{ax_2 + bx_1}{a+b} \ and \ y = \frac{ay_2 + by_1}{a+b}$

$Here (x_1 , y_ 1 ) = ( -7 , 1 ) \ and \ (x_ 2 , y _ 2 ) = (m , 6)\\\\ratio\ a:b = 3 : 2\\\\Therefore, P (x, y) \\\\x = \frac{3m + (2\times -7)}{5} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [ \ x = -1 \ ] \\\\-1 = \frac{3m - 14}{5}\\\\- 5 = 3m - 14\\\\-5 + 14 = 3m\\\\9 = 3m \\\\m = 3$

$y =\frac{3\times 6 + 2 \times 1}{5}\\\\n = \frac{18 + 2}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$
