Find the polynomial function

Mathematics
1 answer:
laiz [17]2 years ago

Answer:

y = 2x³ +x² -3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial correlation function of a graphing calculator can work with the table of function values to give you the equation. (See attached)

_____

If you want to solve this by hand, you can write the equations for the unknown coefficients in the polynomial function, then solve those. First of all, notice that you are given the y-intercept, (0, 6), so you know one of the coefficients already. That leaves a system of 3 equations in 3 unknowns that need to be solved.

___

<em>Writing the equations</em>

... ax³ +bx² +cx +6 = y . . . . the generic linear equation in a, b, c that you're writing

For x = -1:

... -a +b -c +6 = 8

For x = 1

... a + b + c + 6 = 6

For x = 2

... 8a +4b +2c +6 = 20

In augmented matrix terms, this set of linear equations looks like ...

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}-1&1&-1&2\\1&1&1&0\\8&4&2&14\end{array}\right]

___

<em>Solving the equations</em>

There are a number of ways to solve these. Again, a graphing calculator often has solution functions, such as reducing a matrix to row-echelon form, that will solve this in a keystroke or two.

If you add the first two equations, you get ...

... 2b = 2 ⇒ b = 1

Substituting that into the first equation allows you to simplify it to ...

... -a -c = 1

Dividing the third equation by 2 (and substituting for b) makes it ...

... 4a +c = 5

Adding these equations gives ...

... 3a = 6 ⇒ a = 2

Then ...

... c = -a -1 = -2 -1 = -3

And our polynomial function is ...

... y = 2x³ +x² -3x +6

A study was conducted on the relationship between speeds of cars and gas mileage. The correlation coefficient was 0.45. Later, t
True [87]

Answer:

0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is used to measure the relationship between how two variables change. In this question, the two variables are cars speed and gas mileage. Since the speedometers were wrong as they were 5 mph too high in a constant manner, then the correlation between how changes in speed affect gas mileage will not be changed.

For example, if we are measuring how an increase of 15 mph decreased gas mileage, we are looking at the change in speed and it is the same if we start with 75 mph and then increase speed to 90 mph, or if we start with 45 mph and then increase to 60 mph. The change in speed for both cases will remain unchanged at 10 mph.

Now, since we have seen that the change in speed remains unchanged and since correlation coefficient is a measure of the relationship between how two variables change, then the new value of the correlation coefficient will remain the same as 0.45.

Cary is 4 years older than Dan. In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 76
bekas [8.4K]

Ages of Dan and Cary are 29 and 33 respectively.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Form equations out of the given details. Let the age of Dan be x, then age of Cary is x + 4.

In 7 years, sum of their ages = 76

⇒ (x + 7) + (x + 4 + 7) = 76

⇒ 2x + 18 = 76

⇒ 2x = 58

⇒ x = 29

Step 2:

Calculate age of Cary.

⇒ x + 4 = 33
