Answer:
Hence, the model that best represents the data is:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a table that shows the estimated number of lines of code written by computer programmers per hour when x people are working.
We are asked to find which model best represents the data?
So for finding this we will put the value of x in each of the functions and check which hold true that which gives the value of y i.e. f(x) as is given in the table:
We are given 4 functions as:
A)

B)

C)

D)

We make the table of these values at different values of x.
x A B C D
2 66.66 49.3 52.5 50
4 94.57 71.44 106.3 104
6 134.14 103.57 160.1 158
8 190.27 150.14 213.9 212
10 269.91 217.64 267.7 266
12 382.85 315.5 321.5 320.
Hence, the function that best represents the data is:
Option C.
y=26.9x-1.3
Refer to the diagram shown below. It shows a vertical cross-section of the paraboloid through its axis of symmetry.
Let the vertex of the parabola be at the origin. Then its equation is of the form
y = bx²
Because the parabola passes through (18,8), therefore
8 = b(18²)
b = 0.02469
The parabola is y = 0.02469x².
The receiver should be placed at the focal point of the paraboloid for optimal reception.
The y-coordinate of the focus is
a = 1/(4b) = 1/0.098765 = 10.125 in
Answer: The receiver is located at 10.125 inches from the vertex.
I think it could be m ( 5m + 16 ) + 12. Hope it useful .
2 - 5x = -13
-2 -2
---------------
-5x = -15
/-5 /-5
-------------
x = 3
Hope this helps!
