Answer:

The equation of the parabola is y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}.  The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that a parabola is represented by a quadratic function, which can be formed by knowing three different points. A quadratic function is standard form is represented by:

y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c

Where:

x - Independent variable, dimensionless.

y - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

a, b, c - Coefficients, dimensionless.

If we know that (3, -30), (-2, 0) and (18, 0) are part of the parabola, the following linear system of equations is formed:

9\cdot a +3\cdot b + c = -30

4\cdot a -2\cdot b +c = 0

324\cdot a +18\cdot b + c = 0

This system can be solved both by algebraic means (substitution, elimination, equalization, determinant) and by numerical methods. The solution of the linear system is:

a = \frac{2}{5}, b = -\frac{32}{5}, c = -\frac{72}{5}.

The equation of the parabola is y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}.

Now, we calculate the average rate of change (r), dimensionless, between x = -2 and x = 8 by using the formula of secant line slope:

r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{8-(-2)}

r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{10}

x = -2

y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (-2)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (-2)-\frac{72}{5}

y(-2) = 0

x = 8

y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (8)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (8)-\frac{72}{5}

y(8) = -40

r = \frac{-40-0}{10}

r = -4

The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

24 ft cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is denoted by the formula: V=lwh , where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Looking at the diagram, we can see that the length is 2 ft (so l = 2), the width is 4 ft (so w = 4), and the height is 3 ft (so h = 3). Now, we can just plug in these values to find V, the volume:

V=lwh

V=2*4*3=24

Thus, the answer is 24 ft cubed.

Hope this helps!

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The predicted life expectancy of men in a country in which the life expectancy of women is 70 years is 65.33 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The least square regression line is used to predict the value of the dependent variable from an independent variable.

The general form of a least square regression line is:

\hat y=\alpha +\beta x

Here,

<em>y</em> = dependent variable

<em>x</em> = independent variable

<em>α</em> = intercept

<em>β</em> = slope

The regression line to predict the life expectancy of men in a country from the life expectancy of women in that country is:

\hat y=3.73 +0.88 x

Compute the life expectancy of men in a country in which the life expectancy of women is 70 years as follows:

\hat y=3.73 +0.88 x

  =3.73 +(0.88\times 70)\\=3.73+61.6\\=65.33

Thus, the predicted life expectancy of men in a country in which the life expectancy of women is 70 years is 65.33 years.
