Tim is investigating the relationship between the number of years since a tree was planted and the height of the tree in feet. H

is data are shown in the table.
Years Since Tree was Planted vs. Height of Tree
Years since tree was planted, x
Height of tree in feet, y

Using a regression calculator, what is a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old?

A calculator screen. A 2-column table with 6 rows titled Data. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 17, 25, 42, 47, 54, 69. The regression equation is y almost-equals 7.36 x + 3.08; r almost-equals 0.998.
A good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old is about 315 feet because that is what the trend line, y almost-equals 3.08 x + 7.36, produced by the regression calculator predicts.
A good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old is about 739 feet because that is what the trend line, y almost-equals 7.36 x + 3.08, produced by the regression calculator predicts.
There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the trend line produced by the regression calculator does not give a prediction.
There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the prediction given by the trend line produced by the regression calculator probably is not valid that far in the future.

Answer: There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the prediction given by the trend line produced by the regression calculator probably is not valid that far in the future.

Step-by-step explanation:

Years since tree was planted (x) - - - - height (y)

2 - - - - 17

3 - - - - 25

5 - - - 42

6 - - - - 47

7 - - - 54

9 - - - 69

Using a regression calculator :

The height of tree can be modeled by the equation : ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08

With y being the predicted variable; 7.36 being the slope and 3.08 as the intercept.

X is the independent variable which is used in calculating the value of y.

Predicted height when years since tree was planted(x) = 100

ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08

ŷ = 7.36(100) + 3.08

y = 736 + 3.08

y = 739.08

Forward prediction of 100 years produced by the trendline would probably give an invalid value because the trendline only models a range of 9 years prediction. However, a linear regression equation isn't the best for making prediction that far in into the future.

If x²-5x +1 =0, what is the value of -<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28x%20%2B%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D%20%29%20%20" i

<h3>Answer:   5</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0

x^2 + 1 - 5x = 0

x^2 + 1 = 5x

(x^2 + 1)/x = 5    .... where x is nonzero

(x^2)/x + (1/x) = 5

x + (1/x) = 5

---------------

An alternative method involves solving the original equation using the quadratic formula. After you get the two roots x = p and x = q, you should be able to find that p + 1/p = 5 and also q + 1/q = 5 as well.

In this case,

p = (5 + sqrt(21))/2

q = (5 - sqrt(21))/2

Rewrite using the distributive property and GCF 16 + 40
Artist 52 [7]

The GCF of 16 and 40 is 8.

16/8 = 2

40/8 = 5

We can rewrite this using the distribute property like so:

<h3><u>8(2 + 5)</u></h3>

Using the distributive property:

16 + 40

16 + 40 = 56

We can also add inside the parentheses and multiply and we'll get the same answer.

8(7)

56

A recipe uses 1/4 teaspoons of baking soda for every ½ cup of flour. What is the unit rate in cups per teaspoon?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

2 cups per teaspoon, 2 cups/1 tsp

Step-by-step explanation:

to get the teaspoon amount to 1 (you have to for a unit rate), you multiply both sides by 4.

1/2 x 4 = 2

1/4 x 4 = 1
