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

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

-3y=6-12x
/-3  /-3 /-3
y=-2+4x
y=4x-2

Please help
Zolol [24]

Given:

The function is

r(x)=0.05(x^2+1)(x-6)

where, function r gives the instantaneous growth rate of a fruit fly population x days after the start of an experiment.

To find:

Number of complex and real zeros.

Time intervals for which the population increased and population deceased.

Solution:

We have,

r(x)=0.05(x^2+1)(x-6)

r(x)=0.05(x^3+x-6x^2-6)

Here, degree of function x is 3. It means, the given function has 3 zeros.

From the given graph it is clear that, the graph of function r(x) intersect x-axis at once.

So, the given function r(x) has only one real root and other two real roots are complex.

Therefore, function r has 2 complex zeros and one real zero.

Before x=6, the graph of r(x) is below the x-axis and after that the graph of r(x) is above the x-axis.

Negative values of r(x) represents the decrease in population and positive value of r(x) represents the increase in population.

Therefore, based on instantaneous growth rate, the population decreased between 0 and 6 hours and the population increased after 6 hours.
