Answer:

The ocean surface is at 0 ft elevation. A diver is underwater at a depth of 138 ft. In this area, the ocean floor has a depth of 247 ft. A rock formation rises to a peak 171 ft above the ocean floor. How many feet below the top of the rock formation is the diver?

We know that the ocean floor has a depth of 247 ft, and we also know that the diver is<span> underwater at depth of 138 ft, so its distance from the ocean floor will be:
</span>247-138=109 ft
<span>
Now, the </span>rock formations rises to a peak 171 to above the ocean floor, so to find <span>how many feet below the top of the rock formations is the diver, we are going to subtract the distance to the driver form the ocean floor from the rock formations height:
</span>171-109=62 ft
<span>
We can conclude that the diver is 62 feet </span><span>below the top of the rock formations.</span>

why is there no need to go further than the multiples of 7 when checking if a number less than 100 is prime​
andrezito [222]

Step-by-step explanation:

because 7 is the highest prime number that when squared is less than 100, 11 yhe next prime number when squared is 121. As such all non-prime numbers less than 100 will be a would have prime factors of either 2, 3, 5 & 7

To make fruit punch for a party, we need 4 1⁄2 gallons of ginger ale, 1 gallon of strawberry juice, 2 3⁄4 gallons of frozen oran
lina2011 [118]

For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:

4 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 4 + 1} {2} = \frac {9} {2}\\2 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {4 * 2 + 3} {4} = \frac {11} {4}

Now we add the fractions:

\frac{9} {2}+1+ \frac {11} {4} + \frac {1} {8} =

We find the least common multiple of the denominators. The l.c.m is 8, then we divide by each denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.

\frac {36 + 8 + 22 + 1} {8} =\\\frac {67} {8} =

8,375

Thus, the punch recipe implies 8.375 gallons. If we convert to a mixed number we have:

8 \frac {3} {8} gallons

Answer:

8 \frac {3} {8}gallons

Joseph claims that a scatterplot in which the y-values increase as the x-values increase must have a linear association. Amy cla
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: Choice C

Amy is correct because a nonlinear association could increase along the whole data set, while being steeper in some parts than others. The scatterplot could be linear or nonlinear.

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

Explanation:

Just because the data points trend upward (as you go from left to right), it does not mean the data is linearly associated.

Consider a parabola that goes uphill, or an exponential curve that does the same. Both are nonlinear. If we have points close to or on these nonlinear curves, then we consider the scatterplot to have nonlinear association.

Also, you could have points randomly scattered about that don't fit either of those two functions, or any elementary math function your teacher has discussed so far, and yet the points could trend upward. If the points are not close to the same straight line, then we don't have linear association.

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

In short, if the points all fall on the same line or close to it, then we have linear association. Otherwise, we have nonlinear association of some kind.

Joseph's claim that an increasing trend is not enough evidence to conclude the scatterplot is linear or not.
