Answer:

The zeros, -1.48 and 1.48, represent the times where the egg is on the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots, or zeros, of an expression are the x-intercepts.  They are the points where the data crosses the x-axis.  The y-coordinate at these points is 0.  This means the height of the egg at these points is 0.

The values of a, b and c in this equation are -16, 0 and 35.  Using the quadratic formula,

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\=\frac{-0\pm \sqrt{0^2-4(-16)(35)}}{2(-16)}\\\\=\frac{0\pm \sqrt{0--2240}}{-32}\\\\=\frac{0\pm \sqrt{2240}}{-32}\\\\=\frac{0\pm 47.33}{-32}\\\\=\frac{0+47.33}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{0-47.33}{-32}\\\\=\frac{47.33}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-47.33}{32}\\\\=-1.48\text{ or }1.48

Randy rented a rectangular storage shed with the volume of 357 ft does it sheds height is 8 and 1/2 ft and the width of is 6 ft
ollegr [7]

Answer:

7 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of shed, V = 357 feet³

Height of shed, H= 8 1/2 fts

Width of shed, W = 6 ft

Using the relation :

Volume = Length * width * height

357 = L * 6 ft * 17/2 feets

357 feets³ = L * 51 feets²

L = 357 feets³ / 51 feets²

Length, L = 7 feets

For a specific species of fish in a pond, a wildlife biologist wants to build a regression equation to predict the weight of a f
sashaice [31]

Answer: First of all, we will add the options.

A. Yes, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

B. Yes, because the regression equation is based on a random sample.

C. Yes, because the association between length and weight is positive.

D. No, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

E. No, because there may not be any 3-inch fish of this species in the pond.

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation: It would not be appropriate to use the model to predict the weight of species that is 3 inches long because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

As we can see from the question, the model only accounts for species that are within the range of 0.75 to 1.35 inches in length, and species smaller or larger than that length have not been taken into consideration. Therefore the model can not be used to predict the weights of fishes not with the range accounted for.
