Answer:

\frac{21}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 3\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{2}

Let's changed that mixed number to an improper fraction. Now we get:

\frac{25}{8} - \frac{1}{2}

Let's find out least common denominator. This one is easy, the LCD is 8. Now that we know the LCD, let's convert both our fractions:

\frac{25}{8} - \frac{4}{8}

We can use \frac{4}{8} because it is equal to \frac{1}{2}. Now, all we need to do is subtract the numerators:

\frac{25}{8} - \frac{4}{8}=\frac{21}{8}

A student decided to use the points (.5, 20) and (3, 150) to make what she believed was a better regression equation. Her answer
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

They can expect to make $524

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve the problem

The form of the linear function is f(x) = m x + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (value f(x) at x = 0)

∵ The student decided to use the points (0.5, 20) and (3, 150)

   to make a better regression equation

- She calculated the slope of the line using the two points

∵ m=\frac{150-20}{3-0.5}=52

- She substituted the value of m in the form above

∴ f(x) = 52 x + b

- Than she find that the best value of f(x) at x = 0 is 4

∴ f(x) = 52 x + 4

∵ x represents the number of hours

∵ y represents the money

∵ The family decides to extend the yard sale to be 10 hours long

- That means substitute x by 10 in f(x)

∵ x = 10

∴ f(10) = 52(10) + 4

∴ f(10) = 520 + 4

∴ f(10) = 524

∴ They can expect to make $524

The volume of water and a rectangle swimming pool can be modeled by the function v(x)=x^3+13x-210. If the depth of the pool is g
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Required,

L=\frac{3+\sqrt{37}}{2}-\frac{144}{x-3}

W=\frac{3-\sqrt{37}}{2}-\frac{144}{x-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given volume and depth respectively,

V(x)=x^3+13x-210 and x-3

To find length and width of the rectanglular swiming pool we know,

Volume=length\timesheight\timesdepth.

Let depth=D=x-3, length=L, width=W, then

V=DLW

x^3+13x-210= LW(x-3)

LW=\frac{x^3+13x-210}{x-3}

After divide we will get x^2-3x-22 with remainder -144.

Thus,

x^3+13x-210=(x^2-3x-22)(x-3)-144=(x-3)LW

Now to find root of,

x^2-3x-144=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{9+88}}{2}=\frac{3\pm \sqrt{37}}{2}

Thus,

L=\frac{3+\sqrt{37}}{2}-\frac{144}{x-3}

W=\frac{3-\sqrt{37}}{2}-\frac{144}{x-3}
