A study analyzed the average yearly salt intake in the United States from 2012 thru 2017. The data is summarized in the table: Y

ear Annual Salt Intake (grams) 2012 3,554 2013 3,598 2014 3,603 2015 3,655 2016 3,718 2017 3,794 The study found that the data after the year 2012 can be modeled by the function f(x) = 52.3x + 3,548, where x is the number of years since 2012 and f(x) is the total amount of salt ingested in grams. Describe the significance of 3,548. An estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012 An estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2013 The average amount of salt in grams used in 2012 The average amount of salt in grams used in 2013

Answer:

Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of years since 2012

f(x) ---> is the total amount of salt ingested in grams

we have

f(x)=52.3x+3.548

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

where

The slope is equal to

m=52.3\ grams/ year

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

b=3,548\ grams

The y-intercept is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context, the y-intercept is the average amount of grams of salt ingested  in the year 2012

The exact value of the average amount of grams of salt ingested  in the year 2012 is 3,554 grams (see the data in the table)

Compare the exact value with the y-intercept

3,554\ g\neq 3,548\ g

therefore

3,548 grams Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

  455 or 680, depending

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the three choices are different, then there are ...

  15C3 = 15·14·13/(3·2·1) = 35·13 = 455

ways to make the pizza.

___

If two or three of the topping choices can be the same, then there are an additional ...

  2(15C2) +15C1 = 2·105 +15 = 225

ways to make the pizza, for a total of ...

  455 + 225 = 680

different types of pizza.

__

There is a factor of 2 attached to the number of choices of 2 toppings, because you can have double anchovies and tomato, or double tomato and anchovies, for example, when your choice of two toppings is anchovies and tomato.

_____
