Answer: 2 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Plane A's descent :
y = -2,500x + 14,000
Plane B's Ascent :
y = 4,000x + 1,000
where y = altitude x = minute
Time to be at the same altitude :
Being at the same altitude means ;
Plane A's descent = Plane B's Ascent
-2,500x + 14,000 = 4,000x + 1,000
-2500x - 4000x = 1000 - 14000
-6500x = - 13000
x = 13000 / 6500
x = 2
x = 2minutes.
ŷ= 1.795x +2.195 is the equation for the line of best fit for the data
<h3>How to use regression to find the equation for the line of best fit?</h3>
Consider the table in the image attached:
∑x = 29, ∑y = 74, ∑x²= 125, ∑xy = 288, n = 10 (number data points)
The linear regression equation is of the form:
ŷ = ax + b
where a and b are the slope and y-intercept respectively
a = ( n∑xy -(∑x)(∑y) ) / ( n∑x² - (∑x)² )
a = (10×288 - 29×74) / ( 10×125-29² )
= 2880-2146 / 1250-841
= 734/409
= 1.795
x' = ∑x/n
x' = 29/10 = 2.9
y' = ∑y/n
y' = 74/10 = 7.4
b = y' - ax'
b = 7.4 - 1.795×2.9
= 7.4 - 5.2055
= 2.195
ŷ = ax + b
ŷ= 1.795x +2.195
Therefore, the equation for the line of best fit for the data is ŷ= 1.795x +2.195

Let

be the length of the rectangle and

be the width. In the problem it is given that

. It is also given that the area

. Substituting in the length in terms of width, we have

. Using the zero product property,

. Solving these we get the width

. However, it doesn't make sense for the width to be negative, so the width must be

. From that we can tell the length

.
