Why is ac smaller than ad if they both look very close

Mathematics
1 answer:
kakasveta [241]1 year ago

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

We start out by observing that Triangles MKR & ACD are similar or proportional

\begin{gathered} MK=21;AC=\text{?} \\ MR=24;AD=28\frac{4}{5} \\ KR=CD=\text{?} \end{gathered}

We will solve for the missing side by using the similar triangle theorem. This is shown below:~

\begin{gathered} \Delta MKR\approx\Delta ACD \\ \frac{MK}{AC}=\frac{MR}{AD} \\ \frac{21}{AC}=\frac{24}{28\frac{4}{5}} \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ 24\cdot AC=28\frac{4}{5}\cdot21 \\ AC=\frac{28\frac{4}{5}\cdot21}{24}=25\frac{1}{5} \\ AC=25\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}

A. Find a power function that models the data below.
zalisa [80]

Using Visual inspection, the model which fits the data in the distribution better is the power function.

The power and linear functions can of the data can both be modeled using technology,

<u>Using Technology</u> :

The power function in the form y = Ax^{B} which models the data is 1.926x^{1.662}

The linear function in the form y = Bx + A which models the data is y = 7.429x - 8.333

  • Where A = intercept and B = slope

  • From the model, correlation coefficient given by the power and linear models are 0.999 and 0.986 respectively.

  • Hence, the power model is a better fit for the data than the linear model.

Therefore, Inspecting the models visually, the power function fits the data better as the points on the curve are closer to the regression line than on the linear model.
