If we fit the data as calories as a function of wt loss/week, we need to arrange the data first from lowest to highest wt loss/week lbs and calories. Then, the set of points can be plotted in a graph and a graphical method of line fitting can be used. Curve fitting programs (which are also in the calculator) can be used. The result is:
y = -266.5741x + 2246.5116

The value of R² is 0.7109. The fit is not very good since R² is quite far from 0.99.

Answer:

  See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution choices all agree that x = 1±√2. The second equation tells you ...

  y = ±2√(x+2)

so the sign of the √2 term in x is the same as the sign of the √2 term in y. The answer choices circled in red are the ones that meet this requirement.

If y = x2 + 2x , find the value of y when x = 5
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so you are gonna substitute x for 5 so the equations will look like y= (5)2+(5)2

So 10+10 = 20

So y=20

An escalator lifts people to the second floor of a building, 21 ft above the first floor. the escalator rises at a 30 degree ang
Ira Lisetskai [31]
We use the trigonometric function for this case. An escalator is an inclined path. We form a right triangle since we have given the value of the height. The height from the first floor to second floor is called the adjacent while the travelled distance of the people is called the hypothenuse. We use cosine function because we are given in terms of adjacent and hypothenuse. The ratio of cosine function is
cos x = a/h
where x is the angle
Solving for h,
h = a/(cos x) = 21/(cos 30) = 24.25 ft
