The EverGlow nuclear power plant releases water into Lake Fishbegone every afternoon at 4:51 p.m. Environmental researchers are

concerned that fish are being driven away from the area around the plant. They believe that the temperature of the water discharged may be a factor. The data table below gives the temperature of the water released by the plant and the measured distance (in meters) from the outflow pipe of the plant to the nearest fish found in the water on several randomly chosen afternoons. A scatterplot of the data and the least-squares regression line are given.
What is the slope of the least-squares regression line? *
A. -74.704
B. 5.791
C. 12.196
D. 0.946

Firstly, It says that the two triangles are similar .              

The scale factor is 2 as 12 / 6 = 2

25 + 85 = 110

180 - 110 = 70.

F(x)=x^+4x+2 what is the average rate of change from x=3 to x=5
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^+4x+2 First, let's evaluate when x=3, x=4 and x=5.

f(3) = 3²+4(3)+2 = 9 + 12 + 2 = 23

f(4) = 4²+4(4)+2 = 16 + 16 + 2 = 34

f(5) = 5²+4(5)+2 = 25 + 20 + 2 = 47

Now, let's find the rate of change.

34 - 23 = 11

47 - 34 = 13

Finally, the average rate of change.

(11 + 13) / 2 = 12

Domain of the function
Umnica [9.8K]
F(x) = ln (6-x); find the domain.

The domain of the "ln" function is (0, infinity), or "x is greater than zero."

Thus, the domain of the given function is  "(6-x) is greater than zero."

Solve this:  6-x > 0.  Add x to both sides.  Then 6 > x, or x < 6 (answer)
