Answer:
I think its, Find the value of x such that PQ = QR, where P , Q, and R are the points (2, 5 ),( x, -3 ), and ( 7, 9 ), respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Without using a calculator I would say the root is between 10 and 11
How I found the answer:
I know 10 * 10 = 100
I know 11 * 11 = 121
So the root of 100 = 10 and the root of 121 = 11 so that means the root of 108 is somewhere between 10 and 11, which the root of 108 = 10.3923
Answer: The "independent variable" is the "time" (in hours) that is plotted on the "x-axis". Note the "time" (in hours) can be "manipulated" in the sense that is it "chosen" by the humans who are measuring the data (e.g. when to start, how many hours, and at what intervals.
The "dependent variable" is the measurement (in feet) above or below the sea level, and this is plotted on the "y-axis". These values cannot be "manipulated" in the sense that one cannot "choose" what value or measurement the tide level would be at any particular time.
Hope these answers—and explanations—are of help to you.
Best wishes!
