the end behavior would be a parabola upside-down
Alright, so after a half-life, half of the previous number would be left. So basically,
180 g ← 0 half lives
90 g ← 1 half life
45 g ← 2 half lives
22.5 g ← 3 half lives
11.25 g ← 4 half lives
Therefore, the answer is 11.25 grams
45,000 would be her new salary.
25,000 × .8 = 20,000.
20,000 + 25,000 = $45,0000.
Answers:
- Graph B
- Choice C) y = 0.13x - 0.19
===========================================
Explanations:
- Notice how all of the points in graph B are near to a single line. This is the regression line. We don't have every point on the same line, but it's close enough. Graph A seems to suggest an exponential growth curve could work as the regression curve. Graph C seems to be randomly scattered points, so perhaps no function would work as the regression curve.
- I used technology to get the regression line. Specifically, I used GeoGebra. Any spreadsheet program or graphing calculator should be able to find the regression line. You can do so by hand, but I don't recommend it because it's tedious busy work in my opinion.
