Answer: The first answer choice
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first answer choice, the distance increases for two units, then decreases for three units. The distance then increased for 4 units, stayed level for 3 units, and then decrease slowly for 6 units. The graph exactly follows this trend.
The second answer is <em>immediately wrong</em> because it relates the distance between the car and the concert venue. <em>It never mentioned that the car moved, and the venue obviously can't move</em>.
The third answer says that after the first increase/decrease, Tyler went to go text his friends. However, <em>the graph does not show a flat area after the first increase/decrease</em>.
The fourth answer, like the second answer is immediately wrong because <em>homes and schools can't move</em>.
This is my first response, so I hope it was helpful. :D
Answer:
class boundaries are the end points of an open interval which contains the class interval such that the lower class boundary (LCB) is the LCL minus one-half the tolerance and the upper class boundary (UCB) is the UCL plus one -half the tolerance.
Any times you see the phrase: "Rate of Change", or even sometimes just the word "Rate" think slope.
The word slope is just a fancy word that means the rate of change.
Rate of Change is just a fancy phrase meaning how much does something change over some amount of time.
So in this case our rate of change will have the units of inches per year.
Let's get to the problem at hand!
We'll need to find slope / the rate of change (the two are interchangeable with each other).
Let's go over the formula for slope:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
First we will need to label each of the "coordinated points (the two numbers that go together in a pair)" with either (x1,y1) or (x2,y2).
A Giant Red Oak's diameter in 1965 was 248 inches. Keep in mind time is ALWAYS going to be X in rate of change problems (and most all problems for that matter).
(1965,248)
(X1,Y2)
(2005,251)
(X2,Y2)
Plug in the values into the equation!
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (251 - 248) / (2005 - 1965)
m = (3) / (40)
Type that into a calculator to get a decimal value over 1.
m = 0.075 inches per 1 year.
Or...
m = 0.075in / 1 year
A=BH
Area=Base*Height
The base is 7 in+6 in which equals 13 inches.
Now were set, 13*45.5
Solve to get the answer 591.5
