The equation below can be used to find the length of a foot or forearm when you know one or the other. (length of the foot) = 0.

860 • (length of the forearm) + 3.302 If you let y = length of the foot and x = length of the forearm, this equation can be simplified to y = 0.860x + 3.302. Using this equation, how long would the foot of a person be if his forearm was 17 inches long? What is the rate of change of the equation from Part A? Compare the equation from Part A to your data. Are they the same? Which has a greater rate of change? Why do you think the values are different? Is the relation in your data a function? Why or why not? Could the equation in Part A represent a function? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

This is child's play. 

So, basically:
Y=Length of foot
X= Length of your forearm. 
This is simple. Your equation is Y=0.860x + 3.302
So, if you have a forearm (x) that is 17 inches long, then plug in x as 17. This leaves you to evaluate for Y.
New equation: Y=0.860(17) +3.302
Work it out, you get: Y=14.62 + 3.302
Work that out, you get: Y= 17.922 inches long. 
And of course, Y is the foot.

So, your answer: If the forearm is 17 inches long, then the foot is 17.922 inches long. Simple.

So, part 2:
Rate of change. Well, you need slope then, because that's the same thing.
Y=mx+b, Where m=slope
Your answer turns to be 0.860 inches per length of arm, for rate of change.

Skipping the data, as that's only something you'd know.

Yes, it is indeed a function. There can't be any exponents greater than 1 on the placeholder, and it's obviously not a straight line if you plug it in. 

So yeah, it's a function.

How would you write 4n + 3 as a verbal expression
Tatiana [17]
<h3>4 times a number increased by 3.</h3>

When we have a number that appears

right before a variable, it means multiplication.

So 4n means the same thing as 4 times a number.

Remember, n is a variable which is just a

letter that represents any number.

Since we are adding 3 to 4n, we can say

4 times a number increased by 3.

So 4n + 3 can be written as 4 times a number increased by 3.

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. There are twice as many women then there are men. There are 6 more child
weqwewe [10]

Answer: 16 men

32 women

38 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of men in the group.

Let y represent the number if women in the group.

Let z represent the number of children in the group.

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that

x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that

x = y/2

There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that

z = y + 6

Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86

multiplying through by 2, it becomes

y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172

5y = 172 - 12 = 160

y = 160/5 = 32

x = y/2 = 32/2

x = 16

z = y + 6 = 32 + 6

z = 38
