Remember to do PEMDAS so your answer is not correct, since you multiplied before doing the parentheses/exponents.

Explanation:
3(3)^2- 5(4)
= 3(9) - 5(4)
= 27 - 20 = 7

Answer:

The length of the missing leg is six

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that this is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagoras theorem

12^2+x^2=sqrt180^2

144+x^2=180

x^2=36

x=6

Therefore, the length of the missing leg is six.

How I was taught: Make sure both numbers are a fraction. If not put "1" as the denominator. Multiply straight across. Simplify if you can.

devlian [24]

Answer:

(1.5, 2.5) is the best approximate solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the graph, at the point of intersection of these two lines, x is closest to 1.5 and y is simultaneously closest to 2.5.

(1.5, 2.5) is the best approximate solution.

Let x be the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan, and let y be the average administrative cost as a per

Step2247 [10]

A scatter diagram has points that show the relationship between two sets of data.

We have the following data,

$\left\begin{array}{ccccccc}\mathrm{x}&3&7&15&32&74\\\mathrm{y}&40&35&30&25&17\end{array}\right$

where <em>x</em> is the average number of employees in a group health insurance plan and <em>y</em> is the average administrative cost as a percentage of claims.

To make a scatter diagram you must, draw a graph with the independent variable on the horizontal axis (<em>in this case x</em>) and the dependent variable on the vertical axis (<em>in this case y</em>). For each pair of data, put a dot or a symbol where the x-axis value intersects the y-axis value.

Linear regression is a way to describe a relationship between two variables through an equation of a straight line, called line of best fit, that most closely models this relationship.

To find the line of best fit for the points, follow these steps:

Step 1: Find $X\cdot Y$ and $X\cdot X$ as it was done in the below table.

Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

$\sum{X} = 131 ~,~ \sum{Y} = 147 ~,~ \sum{X \cdot Y} = 2873 ~,~ \sum{X^2} = 6783$

Step 3: Use the following equations to find intercept a and slope b:

$\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{\sum{Y} \cdot \sum{X^2} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{XY} }{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2} = \frac{ 147 \cdot 6783 - 131 \cdot 2873}{ 5 \cdot 6783 - 131^2} \approx 37.05 \\ \\b &= \frac{ n \cdot \sum{XY} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{Y}}{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2} = \frac{ 5 \cdot 2873 - 131 \cdot 147 }{ 5 \cdot 6783 - \left( 131 \right)^2} \approx -0.292\end{aligned}$

Step 4: Assemble the equation of a line

$\begin{aligned} y~&=~a ~+~ b \cdot x \\y~&=~37.05 ~-~ 0.292 \cdot x\end{aligned}$
