X1 = 4 so sqrt(4) = 2
x2 = 9 so sqrt(9) = 3
3-2 = 1

9-4 = 5

rate of change = 1/5

To the risk of being redundant

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies

-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= \sqrt{x} \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=4\\
x_2=9
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(9)-f(4)}{9-4}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{4}}{5}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3-2}{5}\implies \cfrac{1}{5}$

Tomas bought 80 tickets for rides at an amusement park. Each ride costs 5 tickets, and Tomas has been on x rides so far. Which e

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Option A, C and D are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of rides that Tomas has been on so far. Each ride costs 5 tickets. This means that cost of x rides will be 5x.

We are told that Tomas bought 80 tickets for rides at an amusement park.

To find the number of of tickets that Tomas has left we will subtract cost of x rides from total number of tickets that Thomas bought.

We can represent this information in an expression as: $80-5x$

Now let us see which of our given choices in equivalent to our expression.

A. $80-5x$

Upon looking at option A we can see that it is same as our expression, therefore, option A is the correct choice.

B. $80+5x$

We can see that in this expression cost of x rides in being added instead of subtraction, therefore, option B is not a correct choice.

C. $5(16-x)$

Upon distributing 5 we will get,

$80-5x$

Now this expression is same same as our expression, therefore, option C is the correct choice.

D. $-5x+80$

This expression is also same as our expression as we can rearrange the terms in this expression as: $80-5x$ , therefore, option D is a correct choice as well.

E. $5(16+x)$

Upon distributing 5 we will get,

$80+5x$

We can see that in this expression cost of x rides in being added instead of subtraction, therefore, option E is not a correct choice.

The fitted regression is Sales = 832 − 28.2 Price. (a-1) If Price = 1, what is the prediction for Sales? (Round your answer to 1

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Part (a-1): The prediction for Sales is 803.8.

Part (a-2): The correct option is: An increase in price decreases sales.

Part (B): The prediction for sales is 211.66

Part (C): The intercept is meaningful as sales will be maximized when price is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided regression:

Sales = 832 − 28.2 Price

(a-1) If Price = 1, what is the prediction for Sales?

Substitute Price = 1 in above regression.

Sales = 832 − 28.2 (1) = 803.8

Hence, the prediction for Sales is 803.8.

Sales (a-2) Choose the correct statement.

Here we can observe that as we increase the price, sales decrease.

Thus, the correct option is: An increase in price decreases sales.

(b) If Price = 22, what is the prediction for Sales?

Substitute Price = 22 in above regression.

Sales = 832 − 28.2 (22)

Sales = 832 − 620.4

Sales = 211.66

Hence, the prediction for sales is 211.66

Sales (c) Choose the right option.

As we increase the price, sales decrease that means the sales will be maximum if the price is 0.

The intercept is meaningful as sales will be maximized when price is zero.

If T equals 1 / r + 1 / s equals r + S over RS, then what is 1 / T in terms of R&S?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

$T=\dfrac{1}{r}+\dfrac{1}{s}\\\\T=\dfrac{1\cdot s}{r\cdor s}+\dfrac{1\cdot r}{r\cdot s}\\\\T=\dfrac{s}{rs}+\dfrac{r}{rs}\\\\T=\dfrac{s+r}{rs}\to\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{rs}{s+r}$
