Roger is measuring the length of a hanging spring as various weights are added to it. Using these measurements, he obtained the

following regression equation: y = 0.006x + 11.5, where y is the length of the spring in centimeters and x is the mass added to the spring in grams.
What is the meaning of the coefficient 0.006 in this equation?

B.) the length of the spring increases by 0.006 cm for every gram added to it.
 y = 0.006x + 11.50
where:y = length of the spring in centimetersx = mass added to the spring in grams11.50 = the first number in the sequence0.006 = the common difference among numbers in the sequence.
x       y1      11.5 + 0.006(1) = 11.50 + 0.006 = 11.506  2      11.5 + 0.006(2) = 11.50 + 0.012 = 11.5123      11.5 + 0.006(3) = 11.50 + 0.018 = 11.5184      11.5 + 0.006(4) = 11.50 + 0.024 = 11.5245      11.5 + 0.006(5) = 11.50 + 0.030 = 11.530
For every 1 gram added, the length of the string increases by 0.006cm
hope this helps

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the graph of y = (x + 3)^2 - 5
Temka [501]
Equation of the parabola: y = ax^2 + bx + c. Find a, b, and c.
x of axis of symmetry:
x
=
−
b
2
a
=
3
-> b = -6a
Writing that the graph passing at point (1, 0) and point (4, -3):
(1) 0 = a + b + c -> c = - a - b = - a + 6a = 5a
(2) -3 = 16a + 4b + c --> -3 = 16a - 24a + 5a = -3a --> a = 1
b = -6a = -6; and c = 5a = 5
y

Check with x = 1: -> y = 1 - 6 + 5 = 0. OK

he books in a private library are classified as fiction and nonfiction. There are 400 books in the library. There are 40 more fi
vfiekz [6]
First, you have to set a system of equations to determine the number of fiction and of nonfiction books.Call f the number of fiction books and n the number of nonfiction books. Then 400 = f + n. And f = n + 40 => n = f - 40 => 400 = f + f - 40 => 400 - 40 = 2f => f = 360 / 2 = 180. Now to find the probability of picking two fiction books, take into account the the Audrey will pick from 180 fiction books out of 400, and Ryan will pick from 179 fiction books out of 399, so the probability will be<span> (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20</span>
