The table shows the total number y (in billions) of U.S. movie admissions each year for x years. Use a graphing calculator to fi
wariber [46]

Answer:

By rounding up of the constant and coefficient terms, we have;

The line of best, fit is y = 1.23 + 3.46 × 10⁻²·x

Step-by-step explanation:

The table for the data on the number of movie admissions each year is presented as follows;

Year, x                                             {}                      Admission, y

0                                                      {}                         1.24

2                                                       {}                        1.26

4                                                      {}                         1.39

6                                                      {}                         1.47

8                                                      {}                         1.49

10                                                      {}                        1.57

Using a graphing calculator, we have that the line of best fit is given by the following equation;

y = 1.23047619048 + 3.45714285714 × 10⁻²·x

Which is approximately, y = 1.23 + 3.46 × 10⁻²·x

PLEASE HELP AND TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT I HAVE TO SHOW work !! Jeans are on sale for 40% off the jeans Justin wants to buy them m
Harman [31]
Okay, if the jeans were originally $80, take 40% off of that (40% of 80 is 32) so you’d get 48. Now take 48 and multiply by 1.07 (to get 107% of the $48, to find a percentage you can move the decimal place left 2 digits and multiply), so Justin would pay $51.36 in total.

Two groups of staff at a store are making flowers to decorate the entrance. If Group A were to do it alone, it would take them 1
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

\dfrac{6750}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of flowers. If Group A were to make x flowers alone, it would take them 10 hours to complete the task, then they make \dfrac{x}{10} flowers in an hour.  If Group B were to make x flowers alone, it would take them 15 hours to complete the task, then they make \dfrac{x}{15} flowers in an hour.

The groups decided to work together. They can make \dfrac{x}{10}+\dfrac{x}{15}=\dfrac{x}{6} together in an hour and it takes them \dfrac{x}{\frac{x}{6}}=6 hours. Group B took a break for 1 hour and 40 minutes (1\dfrac{2}{3} hour), then Group B works

6-1\dfrac{2}{3}=4\dfrac{1}{3} hours.

Thus,

\dfrac{x}{10}\cdot 6-\dfrac{x}{15}\cdot 4\dfrac{1}{3}=300,\\ \\\dfrac{3x}{5}-\dfrac{13x}{45}=300,\\ \\14x=300\cdot 45=13500,\\ \\x=\dfrac{13500}{14}=\dfrac{6750}{7}.
