Charlie used a regression calculator to generate the equation f(x) = –0.15x + 20.1 for the ordered pairs (2, 15), (4, 21), (6, 2

6), (8, 20), and (10, 14).
Is a linear representation the best way to represent the data? If it is, explain why. If not, explain why and suggest a better alternative.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation, The r-value associated with the ordered pairs for the linear function is very nearest to zero which does not results in adequate presentation of the outcome.

A quadratic model could properly comprise of a combination of data, as the set of data has a turning point.

This result in data rises and falls which represents the graph of quadratic's graph

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-5, 7) and is parallel to the line y = 4x + 5?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

y=4x+27

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel, it would have the same slope, so you already have that.

Now, you need the y-intercept of the second line. You already have one point, so use that point and the slope to find the y-int. What you can do (since you know you have to go up 4 and over 1, add a 1 to the -5 until you get to zero. your y-int would be 7+20 since you've gone up 5x4)

your final answer (i think) should be y=4x+27, but I could be wrong :))

If f(x)=8-10x and g(x)=5x+4, what is the value of (fg)(-2)?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

8-10(-2)+5(-2)+4

first you would multiply -10 by -2 and 5 by -2

8+20-10+4

then you would add 8 and 20

28-10+4

then subtract 28 by 10

18+4

then add 18 and 4 together to get

Answer:

280 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the nonshaded portion, we can find the area of the entire floor and then subtract the shaded area.

The total area is that of a rectangle: 30 * 15 = 450 ft squared.

Now, the shaded region is made up of a rectangle and a triangle.

- The rectangle has length 8 and width 10, so its area is 10 * 8 = 80 ft squared.

- The triangle has base 12 and height 15, so using the area of a triangle formula: A=(bh)/2 (where b is the base and h is the height) = (12 * 15)/2 = 180/2 = 90 ft squared.

- The total shaded region is: 80 + 90 = 170 ft squared

Subtract 110 from 450: 450 - 170 = 280 ft squared.

Thus, the answer is 280 ft squared.

Hope this helps!

Mr. Jones purchased two sodas.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

  the prices were $0.05 and $1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' and 'b' represent the costs of the two sodas. The given relations are ...

  a + b = 1.10 . . . . the total cost of the sodas was $1.10

  a - b = 1.00 . . . . one soda costs $1.00 more than the other one

__

Adding these two equations, we get ...

  2a = 2.10

  a = 1.05 . . . . . divide by 2

  1.05 -b = 1.00 . . . . . substitute for a in the second equation

  1.05 -1.00 = b = 0.05 . . . add b-1 to both sides

The prices of the two sodas were $0.05 and $1.05.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This is a "sum and difference" problem, in which you are given the sum and the difference of two values. As we have seen here, <em>the larger value is half the sum of the sum and difference</em>: a = (1+1.10)/2 = 1.05. If we were to subtract one equation from the other, we would find <em>the smaller value is half the difference of the sum and difference</em>: b = (1.05 -1.00)/2 = 0.05.

This result is the general solution to sum and difference problems.
