Answer:

y = 11.84x - 32.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given data points,

(−3,−70),(−1,−42),(1,−21),(2,−9),(4,14),

Let x represents the input value and y represents the output value,

So, the table that represents the given situation is,

x         -3            -1             1             2             4

y       -70          -42         -21         -9             14

By the above table,

\sum x=3

\sum y=-128

\sum xy = 269

\sum x^2=31

\sum y^2 = 7382

Let the equation of the line is,

y = bx + a

Where,

a=\frac{\sum y \sum x^2 - \sum x\sum xy}{n(\sum x^2)-(sum x)^2}

b=\frac{n\sum xy - \sum x \sumy}{n(\sum x^2)-(\sum x)^2}

n = number of data points = 5,

By substituting the values we get,

a = - 32.70547945 ≈ - 32.71,

b = 11.84246575 ≈ 11.84,

Hence, the equation of line would be,

y = 11.84x - 32.71

Please help me !!!!!!!!!
lidiya [134]

Answer:

f(-2) = 0

f(1) = 12

f(2) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-2) will lie in the function f(x) =x^2 - 4

\therefore f( - 2) =  {( - 2)}^{2}  - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0

f(1) will lie in the function f(x) =2x^2 +10

\therefore f(1) = 2 {(1)}^{2}  + 10 = 2 + 10 = 12

f(2) will lie in the function f(x) =5

\therefore f(2) = 5

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

1\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, you first need to convert the mixed number (2 1/3) into a improper fraction and then multiply.

\frac{3}{4} \times2\frac{1}{3}

2\frac{1}{3} =3\times2=6+1=7=\frac{7}{3}

\frac{3}{4} \times\frac{7}{3}

3\times7=21

4\times3=12

=\frac{21}{12} =\frac{7}{4} =1\frac{3}{4}

=1\frac{3}{4}

Hope this helps.
