Answer:
4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.
Answer:
79.5 + 5.5x = Y
Step-by-step explanation:
Sumo wrestler gained 5.5 kg per month
After 11 month, he weighed 140 kg.
Let x be his current weight.
Then x + 11(5.5) = 140
x = 140 - 60.5
x = 79.5
If Y is the weight of the wrestler after t months, then the linear equation would be:
79.5 + 5.5t = Y
Answer:
The forecast is accurate within plus or minus 3.2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean Absolute Deviation is a statistical measure of dispersion from forecast. It measures accuracy level of predicted forecast, by averaging the difference between absolute value of each error from forecasted value.
MAD for a forecast states that : Forecast is accurate within the expected range variation of Mean Absolute Deviation.
So : If the MAD for a forecast is 3.2, we can say that - The forecast is accurate within plus or minus 3.2 units
The picture below shows the formula for calculating slope
In this example:
y2 = 4
y1 = -4
x2 = 5
x1 = 3
(These are the numbers you substitute into the formula)
Calculations:
4 - (-4) = 8
5 - 3 = 2
8/2 = 4
As you can see, after the values are substituted into the equation & simplified, the slope is equal to 4
