Answer:
This task would be especially well-suited for instructional purposes. Students will benefit from a class discussion about the slope, y-intercept, x-intercept, and implications of the restricted domain for interpreting more precisely what the equation is modeling.
One potential confusion students may have follows from the subtle difference between what the car is doing and the idea of slope as the ratio between the change in vertical distance on the graph and the change in horizontal distance on the graph. Because the car is traveling one mile on a down-hill slope, the situation could be represented as a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5,280 ft and a leg of 250 ft; using the Pythagorean Theorem they would find that the other leg is approximately 5,274 ft. Following through on this interpretation, a student might conclude that the car travels a horizontal distance of approximately 5,274 ft for every 250 ft in vertical distance and arrive at a slope of approximately -0.047. While this is, in some sense, the slope of the hill, it is not the slope of the function as described. This interpretation yields numbers that are very close to the situation described in the task, yet conceptually different since the distance traveled by the car would now be expressed in terms of horizontal distance traveled as opposed to distance along the slope of the hill to compute the elevation. If students do indeed pursue this line of reasoning, the task provides an opportunity to compare and contrast the graph of the function and what it represents with a drawing of the hill and the vertical and horizontal distances traversed with each mile down the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:
given that Etsy is an e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items and supplies, as well as unique factory-manufactured items. A shop owner on Etsy sells printed t-shirts and she wants to know what level of inventory she should maintain for the month of January. She gathers the January inventories of 8 other shop owners who sell printed t-shirts on Etsy. Their t-shirt inventories are listed below.
59 84 90 54 42 45 77 85
a) Mean = total /8 = 536/8 = 67
For median arrange in ascending order
42 45 54 59 77 84 85 90
Middle entries are 59 and 77
b) Median = average of 59 and 77 = 68
c) If highest changes to 100, data set becomes
42 45 54 59 77 84 85 100
sum increases by 10 i.e. 546
Mean = 546/8 = 68.25
Median will not change remain the same = 68
Mean increases and median stays the same
d) If Var = 369.1429
std dev = square root of variance
= 19.2131
e) Part b answer is the II quartile
f) Mean = 67 and median = 68
Mean < median
So negatively skewed shape
Answer:
z+42+42=180
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are the same and remember all the angles add to 180. So use this equation:
z+42+42=180
If you need to find z, it is 96.
Check: 96+42+42=180
Answer: options A, B and C are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Ray's daily pay,P in dollars is given by the function, p(h) = 10h with h representing the number of hours that he worked on that day. If he worked c hours on Thursday and this is 3 hours more than he worked on Friday, then the following statement is true. We substitute c and c-3 for Thursday and Friday into the given function, p(h) = 10h
A) 10c -3 represents Ray's pay in dollars on Friday.
B) 10c represents Ray's pay in dollars on Thursday.
C) p(c ) - p(c-3) represents how much more Ray's pay was on Thursday than on Friday
