Answer:

When someone puts on 20 pounds then, the rate of change of height or the height increases by 0.534 inches.                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

Predicted height = (0.0267 inches per pound)(weight) + 65.2

Let y b the predicted height in inches and x be the weight in pounds.

y =65.2 + 0.0267x

Comparing to general form of equation:

y = mx +c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

m = 0.0267

Interpretation of slope:

Th slope tells us about the rate of change that is when the weight increases by 1 unit that is 1 pound then, the height increases by 0.0267 inches.

When someone puts on 20 pounds:

y(x+20)-y(x) =65.2 + 0.0267(x+20) - 65.2 - 0.0267x\\y(x+20)-y(x) = 0.534

Interpretation:

Thus, when someone puts on 20 pounds then, the rate of change of height or the height increases by 0.534 inches.

The function a(1) =1/2I^2 describes the area of an isosceles right triangle with leg I. Make a table of values for I=1,2,3 and 4
prohojiy [21]

Functions can be represented using equations, graphs and tables.

The function is given as:

a(l) = \frac 12 l^2

When l = 1, we have:

a(1) = \frac 12 \times 1^2

a(1) = 0.5

When l = 2, we have:

a(2) = \frac 12 \times 2^2

a(2) = 2.0

When l = 3, we have:

a(3) = \frac 12 \times 3^2

a(3) = 4.5

When l = 4, we have:

a(4) = \frac 12 \times 4^2

a(4) = 8.0

Represent the above results as a table, we have:

<u>l          a(l)</u>

1          0.5

2         2.0

3          4.5

4          8.0

Determine whether this statement is true or false. if two lines have the same slope, their equations describe the same line.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

When you say "slope", Im guessing your referring to the gradient (the steepness of the line).

If two lines have the same gradient their equations won't usually describe the same line because their 'y intercepts' will be different (the point in which the line crosses the y axis)

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

  • Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles forming a straight angle are supplementary.

We have angles APC and DPB forming a straight angle with adjacent angle to both (either angle APD or CPB).

It means the correct choice is D.
