The table shows the profits (y) in millions of dollars for Buffalo Wild Wings for each year (x) from 2007 through 2013, where x=

7 represents 2007.
Year x | Profits y
7 | 19.7
8 | 24.4
9 | 30.7
10 | 38.4
11 | 50.4
12 | 57.3
13 | 71.6


a.) sketch a graph

b.) use the slopes to determine the years in which the profits showed the greatest or least increases.

c.) find the equation of a line between 2007 and 2013

d.) interpret meaning of the slope and line from part (c) in the context of the problem

e) use the equation from part (c) to estimate the profit for Buffalo wild wings in 2017. Do you think that it is an accurate estimate. Explain.

a) See attached diagram.

b) The slope can be obtained by the formula:

m_i=\dfrac{y_{i+1}-y_i}{x_{i+1}-x_i}.

Now

  • m_1=\dfrac{24.4-19.7}{8-7}=4.7;
  • m_2=\dfrac{30.7-24.4}{9-8}=6.3;
  • m_3=\dfrac{38.4-30.7}{10-9}=7.7;
  • m_4=\dfrac{50.4-38.4}{11-10}=12;
  • m_5=\dfrac{57.3-50.4}{12-11}=6.9;
  • m_6=\dfrac{71.6-57.3}{13-12}=14.3;

The greatest increases were from 2012 till 2013 years and the least increases were from 2007 till 2008 years.

c) Using graphing calculator, the equation of the line (black line in the diagram) is

y\approx 0.71x^2-5.58x+23.76.

d) Since the slopes are different, this line is not straight. From the given data you can predict that the "best fit" is quadratic function.

e) In 2017, find

y(17)\approx 0.71\cdot 17^2-5.58\cdot 17+23.76\approx 134.09

The path of a projectile launched from a 26-ft-tall tower is modeled by the equation y = −16t2 + 64t + 26. What is the maximum h
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The maximum height of the projectile is 90 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the maximum height reached by the projectile

The answer here will be the y-coordinate value of the vertex form of the given equation

so firstly, we have to write the equation in the vertex form

We have this as;

y = -16t^2 + 64t + 26

That will be;

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = -16(x-2)^2 + 90

where the vertex of the equation is;

(-h,k)

K

in this case is 90 and thus, that is the maximum height of the projectile

Please help me due tomorrow morning
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: Y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because if you look down the y axis from the origin you can see the location where the line crosses over the y axis in this case it was at (0,-5)

Does the following table shows a proportional relationship between the variables g &amp; h​
KATRIN_1 [288]

*the table being referred to is attached below

Answer:

The table does not show a proportional relationship between variable g and h.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a proportional relationship to exist between two variables, there must be a constant, of which serves like a unit rate, when comparing two variables.

Thus, in the table attached below, there is no obvious constant of proportionality between variable g and variable h.

Thus, \frac{9}{3} ≠ \frac{36}{6} ≠ \frac{81}{9}

<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

Angle 1 = 147 degrees

Angle 2 = 80 degrees

Angle 3 = 148 degrees

======================================================

Work Shown:

(angle 1) + 33 = 180

angle 1 = 180-33

angle 1 = 147 degrees

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

Focus on the left most triangle that has angles 33 and 47 as interior angles. The missing angle is 180-33-47 = 100 degrees

The angle exterior to this 100 degree angle is angle 2

angle 2 = 180-100 = 80

We have enough info to conclude the answer must be choice B.

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

Let's keep going to find angle 3

The vertical angle for the 100 degree angle is also 100 degrees. This second 100 degree angle is part of the triangle on the right

This triangle on the right has interior angles 100 and 48

The missing interior angle is 180-100-48 = 32

The angle supplementary to this is 180-32 = 148, which is angle 3.
