This is a linear function, of the kind y = mx + b
where x is the number of visit, b is the weight when x = 0, and m is the predicted change of weight for every visit.
m = - 4 ounces / visit, which must be converted to pounds (the negative sign indicates that the change is a decrease)
1 lb = 16 ounces = 4 ounces = 0.25 lb
Then m = - 0.25 lb / visit.
Now, for x = 1, y = 126 => 126 = - 0.25(1) + b => b = 126 + 0.25 = 126.25
Then the function is y = 126.25 - 0.25x
Now round to the nearest tenth:
y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer: y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
the question is asking for the difference between the two values, therfore, you should subtract the smaller value from the larger value
while A is technically the same equation, when finding a value, you want all the constants to be on 1 side of the equation while the variable is on the other side
Answer:
The shortest sides is 12.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + 8 + 11 = 24
60 / 24 = 2.5
So 2.5 * 5 = 12.5
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change is
f(x2) - f(x1)
-----------------
x2-x1
We want to find the change from 1 to 3
f(3) = 8
f(1) = 2
f(3) - f(1) 8-2 6
----------------- = ------------ = ---- = 3
3-1 2 2
