Answer:
Mass
Step-by-step explanation:
"Robin collected data from dropping watermelons of different 'MASS' for the same height"
THE ANSWER IS A:
This is the function:
f(x)=|42.67-x|.
42.670 -.002 =42.668
42.668 mm to 42.670
Explanation:
Production will be stopped if the difference in diameter is greater than 0.002 mm.
This difference can mean that the golf ball has a diameter more than 0.002 larger than 42.67 mm, or a diameter more than 0.002 smaller than 42.67. This is the reason for using an absolute value function.
Absolute value represents the distance a number is from 0. For this function, we would want only the values where the function is less than 0.002.
Finding the intercepts is a very straight-forward process. First set y = 0 and solve the equation for x. That is your y-intercept! Then go back to the original equation and set x = 0 and solve for y. That is your x-intercept! For a linear equation like this there is only one x-intercept. For any "function" y(x) there can by definition be only one y-intercept.
The answer is C. 1 lb 14 oz.
