Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)
We solve this by the definition of slope in analytical geometry. The definition of slope is the rise over run. In equation, that would be
m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
The x-coordinates here are the t values, while the y-coordinates are the f(t) values. So, let's find the y values of the boundaries.
At t=2: f(t)= 0.25(2)²<span> − 0.5(2) + 3.5 = 3.5
Point 1 is (2, 3.5)
At t=6: </span>f(t)= 0.25(6)² − 0.5(6) + 3.5 = 9.5
Point 2 is (6, 9.5)
The slope would then be
m = (9.5-3.5)/(6-2)
m = 1.5
Hence, the slope is 1.5. Interpreting the data, the rate of change between t=2 and t=6 is 1.5 thousands per year.
140/7=20
220/20=11
the answer is 11
Answer:
Final Exam score is the response variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
The response variable is the variable of interest. It is what is being tested for given the predictor variables. The response variable is also called the dependent variable and from our question we want to predict final exam scores would improve if attendance is made mandatory or as the question says, required. The number of times attended is the independent variable while final exam score is the response variable.
