By graphing the points, The best mode of the data will be the quadratic function

There is 5 steps to find the quadratic function that models the data.

First step           ⇒ Plot the data pairs (x, y) in a coordinate plane.
                              which are the blue circles in the attached figure

Second step     ⇒ Draw the parabola you think best fits the data.
                             Which is the red function in the attached figure.

Third step         ⇒ Estimate the coordinates of three points on the
                             parabola, which are (-1, 0), (2, -3), and (5, 12).

Fourth step       ⇒ Substitute the coordinates of the points into the model
                            y = ax² + bx + c
                            to obtain a system of three linear equations.

                            a - b + c = 0           ---------(1)
                            4a + 2 b + c = -3    ---------(2)
                            25a + 5 b + c = 12 ---------(3)   

Fifth step   ⇒ Solve the linear system.
                      By using the calculator
                      a = 1 , b = -2 , c = -3

So, the quadratic model for the data is ⇒ y = x² - 2x - 3

Item 19 The staircase has three parallelogram-shaped panels that are the same size. The horizontal distance between each panel i
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Area = 287\ in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 20.5

Space = 4.25

Panels = 3

See attachment

Required

The area of one panel

From the attachment, the total width is 50.5in.

i.e.

Total\ Width = 50.5

Given that there are 2 spaces between the 3 panels and each space has a length of 4.25 in.

The reduced width is:

Reduced\ Width = 50.5 - 2 * 4.25

Reduced\ Width = 42

At this point, we can calculate the width of one panel by dividing the reduced width by the number of panels (3).

Width = \frac{42}{3}

Width = 14

The area of one is:

Area = Length * Width

Area = 20.5 * 14

Area = 287\ in^2

Find the length of the midsegment RT
olga55 [171]
To find the mid segment, it is half of the sum of the bases
for number 13 it's 7+13=20 20/2=10
number 14 it's 12+9=21 21/2=10.5
number 15 it's 22+18=40 40/2=20
