old daily:
Part A: In your own words, describe the relationship between the temperature of the city and the number of ice cream cones sold. (5 points)

Part B: Describe how you can make the line of best fit. Write the approximate slope and y-intercept of the line of best fit. Show your work, including the points that you use to calculate slope and y-intercept. (5 points)

#1 There is a positive correlation between the temperature and the amount of ice cream sold. This means that as the temperature increases the amount of ice cream also increases.

 #2 For the best fit you must calculate the slope between two points that are more-or-less representative of the entire graph.  In this case it seems to have already done this with certain points so if you take the points (15,35) and (0,5) you can calculate the slope between these two points which is m=(35-5)/(15-0)=30/15=2.  So the best fit slope for this particular case would be two and you would just draw a line through the graph at approximately the middle of the dots to best represent all of the data.

A) As the temperature rises more ice cream cones are bought.

B) To make a line of best fit, you need to have a line that best represents the data so it should go through as many points as possible. Let's find the slope. First, I need to pick to points I will pick 5,15 and  10,25 so let's subtract the x and we get 5 and if we subtract the y we get 10. So now we have 5,10 we need to find the y-intercept.

It is 5 so the equation is y= 10/5 + 5

What is the mean for the data set? {79,42,86,103,79,111}
kozerog [31]

Answer:

≈83.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the average

so

Mean = [79+42+86+103+79+111] / 6

= 500/6

≈ 83.33

Write an expression using the distributive property that can be used to find the quotient of 126 divided by 7
mina [271]
Well, let's discover how many times 7 goes into 126 first.

7 x 11 = 77
7 x 12 = 84
7 x 13 = 91
7 x 14 = 98
7 x 15 = 105
7 x 16 = 112
7 x 17 = 119
7 x 18 = 126

Well, 7 goes into 126 - 18 times - therefore the quotient is 18. The use of the distributive property wouldn't be necessary.

Nevertheless, you could say that:

\frac { 126 }{ 14 } \\ \\ =\frac { 140-14 }{ 7 } \\ \\ =\frac { 140 }{ 7 } -\frac { 14 }{ 7 } \\ \\ =20-2\\ \\ =18

* I've used the distributive property above.

Complete the equation of the lines whose slope is 5 and y-intercept is (0,4)<br>y = ?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

y = 5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 4 = 5(x - 0)

That is point-slope form. I'm not sure if you want it in slope intercept form, but slope intercept form of the equation is -

y = 5x + 4

If k(x) = x^2 and p(x) = k(x) + n, what is the value of n?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The value of n is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If the function f(x) is translated k units up, then its image is g(x) = f(x) + k
  • If the function f(x) is translated k units down, then its image is g(x) = f(x) - k
  • The vertex form of the quadratic function is f(x) = a(x - h)² + k, where a is the coefficient of x² and (h, k) is the vertex

∵ k(x) = x²

→ Its graph is a parabola with vertex (0, 0)

∴ The vertex of the prabola which represents it is (0, 0)

∵ The given graph is the graph of p(x)

∵ Its vertex is (0, -6)

∴ h = 0 and k = -6

∵ a = 1

→ Substitute them in the form above

∴ p(x) = 1(x - 0)² + -6

∴ p(x) = x² - 6

→ Substitute x² by k(x)

∴ p(x) = k(x) - 6

∵ p(x) = k(x) + n

→ By comparing the two right sides

∴ n = -6

∴ The value of n is -6

Look at the attached figure for more understanding

The red parabola represents k(x)

The blue parabola represents p(x)

Can someone please help i dont understand
Sloan [31]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 1 = 8x - 17

Angle 2 = 5x + 19

These are congruent which means they are the same so the equation is:

8x - 17 = 5x + 19

3x - 17 = 19

3x = 36

x = 12
