X^2-18 = 3x
x^2 - 3x - 18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
x = {-3,6}
So -3 is the answer
You’re going it plug in the inputs for every input for the letter x. So the first one, fx= -4(-2)+1= 9. The second one fx= -4(0)+1=1. The third one fx= -4(5)+1=19.
Answer: 128 fluid ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
First and foremost, we need to realize that:
1 pint = 16 ounces
Therefore, since Fernando bought 8 pints of milk, to convert it to ounces, we just have to multiply 16 by 8. This will be:
= 16 ounces × 8
= 128 ounces
Answer: There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the prediction given by the trend line produced by the regression calculator probably is not valid that far in the future.
Step-by-step explanation:
Years since tree was planted (x) - - - - height (y)
2 - - - - 17
3 - - - - 25
5 - - - 42
6 - - - - 47
7 - - - 54
9 - - - 69
Using a regression calculator :
The height of tree can be modeled by the equation : ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08
With y being the predicted variable; 7.36 being the slope and 3.08 as the intercept.
X is the independent variable which is used in calculating the value of y.
Predicted height when years since tree was planted(x) = 100
ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08
ŷ = 7.36(100) + 3.08
y = 736 + 3.08
y = 739.08
Forward prediction of 100 years produced by the trendline would probably give an invalid value because the trendline only models a range of 9 years prediction. However, a linear regression equation isn't the best for making prediction that far in into the future.
