A researcher collects data on the relationship between the amount of daily exercise an individual gets and the percent body fat

of the individual. The following scores are recorded.
Individual 1 2 3 4 5
Exercise (min) 10 18 26 33 44
% Fat 30 25 18 17 14
Individual: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Excercise (min): 10, 18, 26, 33, 44
% Fat: 30, 25, 18, 17, 14
a) Based on the above data, if an individual exercises 20 minutes daily, his predicted % body fat would be


a. 21.63
b. 27.74
c. 27.88
d. 23.75

Answer:

Option D is correct.

If exercise time = 20 mins,

Body fat = 23.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

After plotting a graph of the variables given, with body fat on the x-axis and exercise time on the y-axis.

The equation of the graph was obtained to be

Y = -1.931X + 65.936

If exercise time = 20 mins,

Y = 20

20 = -1.98X + 66.936

-1.98X = -46.936

X = 23.7 = 23.75% From the options.

The problem can also be solved by doing the least squares regression line method, but this is more straight forward.

How can you determine if a function is linear or nonlinear from the graph of the function???
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
A linear function<span> is in the form y = mx + b or f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept or where the </span>graph<span> of the line crosses the y axis. You will notice that this </span>function<span> is degree 1 meaning that the x variable has an exponent of 1.</span>

Let f(x) = x2 - 81. Find f-1(x).
aalyn [17]
The answer is <span>1) ± √x+81
</span>
Step 1: Substitute y for f(x). <span>
Step 2: </span>Since every (x, y) has its partner (y, x)y switch x and y.
Step 3: <span>Solve for y.

Step 1.
The function is:         f(x) = x</span>² - 81
Substitute y for f(x):   y = x² - 81

Step 2.
Switch x and y: x = y² - 81

Step 3.
Solve for y (which is now f⁻¹(x)): f⁻¹(x) = y
x = y² - 81
y² = x + 81
y = +-√(x+81)

Therefore, the choice 1) is correct.
