Answer: (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 -X1)
Correct Question:
Tim is investigating the relationship between the number of years since a tree was planted and the height of the tree in feet. His data are shown in the table. Years Since Tree was Planted vs. Height of Tree
Years since the tree was planted, x
Height of tree in feet, y
2, 17, 3, 25, 5, 42, 6, 47, 7, 54, 9, 69
Using a regression calculator, what is a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old?
Answer/explanation:
There is no good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old. If you analyze careful in details the regression calculator you realize that it probably will not valid that far in to the future say 100 years.
Answer:
(x - 2)² - 30
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 4x
f(x) = x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 - 26 = (x - 2)² - 30
12% of 1200 is 144, so subtract that. you get 1056. 12% of that is 126.72, so you subtract that. you get 929.28. 12% of that is 111.5136 and you subtract that. and so on and so forth. the answer would be 557.
