The heights (in cm) and arm spans (in cm) of 31 students were measured. The association between (height) and (arm span) is shown

in the scatterplot below. The equation of the line of best fit modeling this relationship is given:
y=4.5+0.977x

Mike is 172 cm tall and George is 165 cm tall. Using the model, how many centimeters longer would we expect Mike's arm span to be than George's? Round your answer to the thousandths place.

Answer: Mike's arm span is 7.165 cm longer than the George's one.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the association between height and arm span is modeled by the equation

y = 4.5 + 0.977*x

where y is height and x is arm span.

Mike is 172 cm tall, so his arm span is:

172cm = 4.5 + 0.977*x

x = (172 - 4.5)/0.977 = 171.443 cm

and George is 165 cm tall, so his arm span is:

x = (165 - 4.5)/0.977 = 164.278 cm

Then the difference between their arm span is:

171.443cm - 164.278cm = 7.165 cm

So Mike's arm span is 7.165 cm longer than the George's one.

Answer:

The lines blue and green are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

step 1

Find the slope of the blue line

we have the points

(-1,-3) and (0,3)

substitute

m=\frac{3+3}{0+1}

m=\frac{6}{1}=6

step 2

Find the slope of the red line

we have the points

(3,-3) and (4,2)

substitute

m=\frac{2+3}{4-3}

m=\frac{5}{1}=5

step 3

Find the slope of the green line

we have the points

(-4,-1) and (2,-2)

substitute

m=\frac{-2+1}{2+4}

m=-\frac{1}{6}

step 4

Compare the slopes

Blue line ----> m=6

Red line ----. m=5

Green line ---> m=-\frac{1}{6}

so

The slope of the blue line and the green line are opposite reciprocal ( their product is equal to -1)

therefore

The lines blue and green are perpendicular

I know that x=0 but I don't know how I really got that.
galina1969 [7]
Sqrt(x+4-3)=1 
sqrt (x+1) = 1 
x+1 = 1^2 
x=1-1
x=0 

This is how you would get x=0 

Hope I helped :)

Answer:

We have the equation

c_1\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\1\end{array}\right] +c_2\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_3\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_4\left[\begin{array}{c}8\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\0\end{array}\right]

Then, the augmented matrix of the system is

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&0&0&8\\0&0&4&4\\0&3&3&3\\1&1&1&1\end{array}\right]

We exchange rows 1 and 4 and rows 2 and 3 and obtain the matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&1\\0&3&3&3\\0&0&4&4\\0&0&0&8\end{array}\right]

This matrix is in echelon form. Then, now we apply backward substitution:

1.

8c_4=0\\c_4=0

2.

4c_3+4c_4=0\\4c_3+4*0=0\\c_3=0

3.

3c_2+3c_3+3c_4=0\\3c_2+3*0+3*0=0\\c_2=0

4.

c_1+c_2+c_3+c_4=0\\c_1+0+0+0=0\\c_1=0

Then the system has unique solution that is (c_1,c_2c_3,c_4)=(0,0,0,0) and this imply that the vectors v_1,v_2,v_3,v_4 are linear independent.

Three of the following steps are used in writing a mixed number as an improper fraction. Which step does NOT belong?
QveST [7]
I don't see the steps, but the steps that I use are:
1. Multiply the denominator by the whole number 
2. Then you add the numerator to your sum.
3. The number that you just got by doing those steps is now going to be your numerator and your old denominator is going to stay your denominator.

Example:

2 2/3 
3*2=6
6+2=8
8/3 is your new answer.
