The weight, y, in pounds, of kittens was tracked for the first 8 weeks after birth where t represents the number of weeks after

birth. The linear model representing this relationship is ŷ = 1.7 + 1.48t. Statler wanted to predict the weight of a kitten at 10 weeks. What is this an example of, and is this method a best practice for prediction? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mentioned relationship for the weight, in pounds, of the kitten with respect to time, in weeks, is

\hat y =1.7 +1.48t

Weight of the kitten after 10 weeks

\hat y =1.7 +1.48\times 10

\hat y =16.5 pounds

This modeled equation is based on the observation of the early age of a kitten where the kitten is in its growth period, but in the early stage the growth rate in the weight of the kitten was the same but the growth of any living beings continues till the adult stage. So, after some time, in real life situation, this weekly change in weight will become zero, So, this model is not suitable to measure the weight of the kitten over the larger time period.

Here, t= 10 weeks is nearby the observed time period, so the linearly modeled equation can be used to predict the weight.

Hence, the weight of the kitten after 10 weeks is 16.5 pounds.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

So, the times the ball will be 48 feet above the ground are t = 0 and t = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height h of the ball is modeled by the following equation

h(t)=-16t^2+32t+48

The problem want you to find the times the ball will be 48 feet above the ground.

It is going to be when:

h(t) = 48

h(t)=-16t^{2}+32t+48

48=-16t^{2}+32t+48

0=-16t^{2}+32t+48 - 48

16t^{2} - 32t = 0

We can simplify by 16t. So

16t(t-2)= 0

It means that

16t = 0

t = 0

or

t - 2 = 0

t = 2

So, the times the ball will be 48 feet above the ground are t = 0 and t = 2.
