The function f (x )equals 2.9 square root of x plus 20.1, models the median height, f(x), in inches, of boys who are x months of

age and for girls the function is f (x )equals 3.1 square root of x plus 19. Use a calculator to find the median height for both a boy and a girl who is 24 months old. Repeat the process for a child 48 months old. The actual median height for boys 48 months old is 40.8 inches and 40.2 inches for girls 48 months old. Does the model overestimate or underestimate the actual median heights and by how much

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the models for the median height of biys and giels:

BOY:

f(x) = 2.9√x + 20.1

GIRL:

f(x) = 3.1√x + 19

If x = 24 months

BOY:

HEIGHT = 2.9√24 + 20.1

= 2.9× 4.8989794 + 20.1

= 14.207040 + 20.1

= 34.307 inches

GIRL:

HEIGHT = 3.1√24 + 19

= 3.1 × 4.8989794 + 19

= 15.186836 + 19

= 34.1868 inches

If x = 48

Boy:

HEIGHT = 2.9√48 + 20.1

= 2.9× 6.9282032 + 20.1

= 20.091789 + 20.1

= 40.19 inches

Actual median height = 40.8

Hence, model underestimates by (40.80 - 40.19) = 0.61 inches

Girl:

HEIGHT = 3.1√48 + 19

= 3.1 × 6.9282032 + 19

= 21.477430 + 19

= 40.48 inches

Actual median height = 40.20

Hence, model overestimates by (40.48 - 40.20) = 0.28 inches

I first think that you need to do 64 squared which is 8 then add the other 8 then you have 16 then do 16 square which equals 4 then I think you do 4 x 3 then add 25 then you get your answer..... hopefully

After solving the system x+2y=10 and x-2y=2. What is the sum of x+y equal to?
Masja [62]

Answer:

The sum of x and y is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y=10

x-2y=2

------------

2x = 12, so x = 6.  Substituting 6 for x in the 2nd equation, we get:

6 - 2y = 2, or

4 = 2y, or y = 2.  The solution is therefore (6, 2).

The sum of x and y is 6 + 2 = 8 (answer)

A rose garden Is formed by jolning a rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. The rectangle Is 23 ft long and 14 ft wide.Find
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Area of the garden:

\begin{equation*} 398.93\text{ ft}^2 \end{equation*}

Explanation:

Given the below parameters;

Length of the rectangle(l) = 23 ft

Width of the rectangle(w) = 14 ft

Value of pi = 3.14

Since the width of the rectangle is 14 ft, so the diameter(d) of the semicircle is also 14 ft.

The radius(r) of the semicircle will now be;

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{14}{2}=7\text{ ft}

Let's now go ahead and determine the area of the semicircle using the below formula;

A_{sc}=\frac{\pi r^2}{2}=\frac{3.14*\left(7\right)^2}{2}=\frac{3.14*49}{2}=\frac{153.86}{2}=76.93\text{ ft}^2

Let's also determine the area of the rectangle;

A_r=l*w=23*14=322\text{ ft}^2

We can now determine the area of the garden by adding the area of the semicircle and that of the rectangle together;

\begin{gathered} Area\text{ of the garden = Area of semi circle + Area of rectangle } \\ =76.93+322 \\ =398.93\text{ ft}^2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the area of the garden is 398.93 ft^2
