Answer:
the smallest of the three consecutive even numbers is 44
Step-by-step explanation:
44+46+48=138
Answer:
[-20.25;+∞).
Step-by-step explanation:
1) according to the properties of the given parabola the minimum is:

2) y₀=-20.25 means, the value -20.25 is minimum of the range, the maximum →+∞;
3) finally, the range y≥-20.25.
Distributive property
a(b+c)+ab+ac
a(b-c)=ab-ac
(6z^2-4z+1)(8-3z)
move for nicety
(8-3z)(6z^2-4z+1)
distribute
8(6z^2-4z+1)-3z(6z^2-4z+1)=
48z^2-32z+8-18z^3+12z^2-3z=
-18z^3+48z^2+12z^2-32z-3z+8=
-18z^3+60z-35z+8
Answer:
Here's what I get.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Representation of data
I used Excel to create a scatterplot of the data, draw the line of best fit, and print the regression equation.
2. Line of best fit
(a) Variables
I chose arm span as the dependent variable (y-axis) and height as the independent variable (x-axis).
It seems to me that arm span depends on your height rather than the other way around.
(b) Regression equation
The calculation is easy but tedious, so I asked Excel to do it.
For the equation y = ax + b, the formulas are

This gave the regression equation:
y = 1.0595x - 4.1524
(c) Interpretation
The line shows how arm span depends on height.
The slope of the line says that arm span increases about 6 % faster than height.
The y-intercept is -4. If your height is zero, your arm length is -4 in (both are impossible).
(d) Residuals

The residuals appear to be evenly distributed above and below the predicted values.
A graph of all the residuals confirms this observation.
The equation usually predicts arm span to within 4 in.
(e) Predictions
(i) Height of person with 66 in arm span

(ii) Arm span of 74 in tall person
