2. A scuba diver was exploring a reef 77.5 m below sea level. The diver ascended to the surface at a rate of 12.5 m/min. (a) Wri

te an equation to model the situation. Use the formula d = rt. (b) Explain why it is reasonable to write the distance, d, as a positive number? Explain. (c) How long did it take the diver to reach the surface?

Answer:

77.5 = 12.5t

6.2 mins.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scuba diver was at the sea bed from where the water surface is at 77.5 m height. The ascending speed of the diver is 12.5 m/minute.

a. If the diver take t minutes to reach the water surface, then the equation that models the situation is  

77.5 = 12.5t ......(1)

b. If we consider the sea bed as a reference level i.e. zero height, then the sea surface will be at 77.5 m height.

Therefore, in that case, it is reasonable to write the distance 77.5 m as a positive number.

c. Solving the equation (1), we get, t = 6.2 minutes.

So, the diver will take 6.2 mins to reach the surface. (Answer)

a photo album contains small and large photographs. Each large photograph has side lengths that are twice the side lengths of ea
zysi [14]
Take the area of the small photograph and divide it by four, assuming it's a square, each side would then be 6 inches. The large photograph has double the side length of the small one, so 6 multiplied by 2 is 12. To find the area of the large (square) photograph, multiply 12 by 12 as two of the sides, and the area of the large photo is 144 square inches

A cylindrical glass is 3 inches in diameter and 6.5 inches tall. How much water can the glass hold when full? Round your answer
Vitek1552 [10]
3 inches diameter mean 1,5 in the radius 
the height is 6,5 in.

volume of a cylinder = area of base time height 

V= pir^2 *h

V = 3,14*1,5^2 *6,5

V = 45,92 in^3

A Biology student who created a regression model to use a​ bird's Height when perched for predicting its Wingspan made the follo
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

(A) A scatter plot is used to determine if the linear model is appropriate.

(B) A linear model estimates the value of the dependent variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression model is formed to estimate the Wingspan using the bird's Height when perched.

The model is of the form:

Wingspan=\beta Bird's\ height\ + \alpha +\epsilon

(A)

The <em>R</em> squared value is a statistic that is used to determine the proportion of variation in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variables.

<em>R</em> squared value of 93% indicates that 93% variation in the Wingspan is explained y the bird's height when perched.

To determine whether the linear model is appropriate one could use a scatter plot. A scatter plot is used to determine whether the provided data is representing the linear relation between two variables.

(B)

The regression model is:

Wingspan=\beta Bird's\ height\ + \alpha +\epsilon

This model is used to estimate the wingspan for any provided bird's height.

It does provided an accurate value of the dependent variable.

Thus, a bird with height 10 inches can have an estimated wingspan of 17 inches.
