Answer:
f(-3) = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
We observe that the given x-values are 3 units apart, and that the x-value we're concerned with is also 3 units from the first of those given. So, a simple way to work this is to consider the sequence for x = 6, 3, 0, -3. The corresponding sequence of f(x) values is ...
34, 10, -8, ?
The first differences of these numbers are ...
10 -34 = -24
-8 -10 = -18
And the second difference is ...
-18 -(-24) = 6
For a quadratic function, second differences are constant. This means the next first-difference will be ...
? -(-8) = -18 +6
? = -12 -8 = -20
The value of the function at x=-3 is -20.

The attachment shows using a graphing calculator to do a quadratic regression on the given points. The graph can then be used to find the point of interest. There are algebraic ways to do this, too, but they are somewhat more complicated than the 5 addition/subtraction operations we needed to find the solution. (Had the required x-value been different, we might have chosen a different approach.)
Answer:
I think it is not proportional because the line is supposed to go thro the middle of each dot, and some of the dots don't have a line thro the middle only on the side or not even on the dot.

Answer:
cos(45°) = (√2)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosine of 45° is the x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle where the line y=x intersects it. That is, it is the positive solution to the equation ...
x^2 +x^2 = 1
x^2 = 1/2 = 2/4 . . . . . collect terms, divide by 2, express the fraction with a square denominator
x = √(2/4) . . . . . . take the square root
x = (√2)/2 . . . . . simplify
The cosine of 45° is (√2)/2.

Hi there!
Your answer is:
It will take 2.2 months for both gyms to be the same amount of money!
Step-by-step explanation:
Fitness 19:
39+ 17x
Anytime Fitness:
50+ 12x
Put them equal to each other:
39+17x = 50+12x
-12x
39+5x = 50
-39
5x = 11
/5
x= 2.2 months
39+17(2.2)= 76.4$
50+12(2.2)= 76.4$

A landlord wants to know the average income of his tenants. He selects three of his eight apartment complexes and collects income information from several randomly chosen tenants within the selected complexes.
A health agency needs to assess the performance of hospitals in a region but does not have the resources to evaluate each hospital. To reduce costs, the agency selects 5 of the 23 hospitals in the region and samples data related to performance from randomly chosen days and times.
Answer: Options D and E.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Cluster sampling is a sampling plan used when mutually homogeneous yet internally heterogeneous groupings are evident in a statistical population. It is often used in marketing research. In this sampling plan, the total population is divided into these groups and a simple random sample of the groups is selected.
Stratified sampling is a probability sampling technique wherein the researcher divides the entire population into different subgroups or strata, then selects the final subjects proportionally from the different strata.
