A. I would suggest including <em>all</em> units in your answer. Both answers are correct but the unit is also important.
average rate of change:
($750 - $350) / (2014 - 2010) = $400 / (4 years) = $100 per year
initial value:
$350
B. Take 2010 to be year 0. Then for year <em>x</em> = 0, the fee is <em>y</em> = $350.
If the fee increases at a rate of $100 per year, this means that when <em>x</em> = 1, <em>y</em> = $350 + $100 = $450. So the graph of the function that models the dog-walking fee is a line that passes through the points (0, 350) and (1, 450), adn the slope of this line is
(450 - 350) / (1 - 0) = 100/1 = 100
which is the same as the average rate of change.
Using the point-slope formula for a line, the equation you want is then
<em>y</em> - 350 = 100 (<em>x</em> - 0)
<em>y</em> - 350 = 100<em>x</em>
<em>y</em> = 100<em>x</em> + 350
The red marble is farthest from the target.
This question is asking which two numeric values are closer to each other. The smallest gap in between Mercury, and Helium, which is the answer
Part a)
Identify the variable and categoriesBy reading the above statement, we can find that there are two variables and each variable has 2 categories. The variables and their categories are:
1) Class Number
This variable is further divided into 2 categories i.e. Class 9th and Class 10th.
2) Participation in Extracurricular activities
This variable is further divided into 2 categories based on if students participated or not.
Part b)Set up and fill 2 way table.Since, we have 2 variables and each variable has 2 categories the number of data cells will be 2 x 2 = 4 cells
There are total 100 students. 40 students are in class 10th. This means 60 students are in class 9th.Out of 40 students in class 10th, 18 students participate in at least one extracurricular activity. So remaining 22 students do not participate. 32 students from class 9th participate in extracurricular activities, this means the remaining 28 students do not participate. Based on this data, we can fill up the table as shown below
