Jesse takes two data points from the weight and feed cost data set to calculate a slope, or average rate of change. A ferret wei

ghs 2.1 pounds and costs $3.40 per week to feed, while a Labrador Retriever weighs 70 pounds and costs $7.50 per week to feed. Using weight as the explanatory variable, what is the slope of the line between these two points?

Answer:

m = 12.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ferret:

Weight = 2.1lb

Cost = \$3.40

Labrador Retriever

Weight = 70lb

Cost = \$7.50

Required

Determine the slope

Represent the given as x or y

Taking the weight as explanatory variable;

We have:

x = 2.1; y = 3.4

x = 7.5; y = 70

Slope is calculated as:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{70 - 3.4}{7.5 -2.1}

m = \frac{66.6}{5.4}

m = 12.33

<em>Hence, the slope is 12.33</em>

4. Find the value of n that makes this equation true. (Use
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

n=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We start off with 3.2n + 13.3 = 26.1.

We need to get n by itself.

Subtract 13.3 from both sides.

3.2n+13.3-13.3=26.1-13.3

26.1-13.3=12.8

We end up with: 3.2n=12.8

Divide 3.2 on both sides to get n by itself.

\frac{3.2n}{3.2} =\frac{12.8}{3.2}\\ n=4

How do we refer to self-contained state actions: monadic. dyadic. triadic. k-adic?
Assoli18 [71]
This state action is referred to as monadic. This is a function or a relation with an arity of one. A monad can relate an algebraic theory into a <span>composition of a function though its power is not always apparent.</span>

Supposef(0) = 2 and 2 ≤ f '(x) ≤ 7for all x in the interval [−5, 5]. determine the greatest and least possible values of f(2).le
IgorC [24]

If the slope of the function is 2, the amount it can change over the interval 0–2 is

... 2×2 = 4 units

If the slope is 7, the amount it can change over the interval 0–2 is

... 2×7 = 14 units


The least possible value of f(2) is 2+4 = 6.

The greatest possible value of f(2) is 2+14 = 16.

What is the measure of the secant DE?
ladessa [460]
Using the formula (AB +BC) *BC = (DE +CD) *CD

fill i n what is known:

(17 + 4) *4 = (DE +6) *6

21*4 = (DE +6)*6

84 = (DE+6)*6

84/6 = DE+6

14 = DE +6

DE = 14-6
DE = 8
