Explain why it makes sense for this situation to have a linear equation

Mathematics

Answer:

The line of best fit for your specific question is a linear equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation has a constant rate of growth/decline and the growth/decline rate will never change in an linear equation.

If you draw a line that approximately splits between all the data plots, you will notice the line you drew is very close to the data points.

If the data plots was a quadratic, it would be very hard to draw a line of best fit.

Linear equations can easily be identified in a graph because it is a straight line.

Perhaps insert this equation into your graphing calculator or other graphing software online (like Desmos): y = 3x+2

A quadratic equation can also easily be identified in a graph because, in most cases, it looks like a U.

Take these examples: y = 3x^2+5x+2 or y=-2x^2+10x+30

The weight of a bull clad is 388 kilograms. If it’s weight increases at a rate of 1 2/5 kilograms per day how long it will take
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

It will take  <u><em>80 days</em></u>  for the bull calf to reach a weight of 500 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The weight of a bull calf is 388 kilograms.

Now, to find the weight of bull calf of how long it will take to reach a weight of 500 kilograms, if it’s weight increases at a rate of 1 2/5 kilograms per day.

Required weight which to be increased = 500 - 388 = 112 kilograms.

Rate of weight increase = 1\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}

                                        = 1.4\ kilograms.

Thus, the time required = \frac{required\ weight}{rate\ of\ weight}

                                        = \frac{112}{1.4}

                                        = 80.

<em>The time required   =    80 days</em>.

Therefore, it will take 80 days for the bull calf to reach a weight of 500 kilograms.

Valentin [98]
Hello :

the nth term ( general term  of an arithmetic sequence is :

An =A1+(n-1)d   ....a common difference is : d , A1 : the first terme
A1 = 5    and : d = 1 - 5 = - 4    n = 21
A21 = 5 + (21 -1)(-4)
A21 = 5 - 80 = -75

I’m confused can ya help me
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

C & D

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3x - 3 = 0

a = co efficient of  x² = 1

b=  co efficient of x = 3

c = constant = -3

roots = (-b ± \sqrt{b-4ac})/2a

    = (-3±\sqrt{3^{2}-4*1*[-3]} )/2*1

    = (-3±\sqrt{9+12})/2

    = (-3±√21)/2

  x = \frac{-3+\sqrt{21}}{2}     ; x =\frac{-3-\sqrt{21}}{2}
