Archaeopteryx is an extinct beast having feathers like a bird but teeth and a long bony tail like a reptile. Only six fossil spe

cimens are known. Because these specimens vary greatly in size, some scientists think they belong to different species. Others believe some were simply younger than others when they died. We have data on five specimens where both the femur (thigh bone) and humerus (upper arm bone) from the same specimen are intact. The data are the lengths of these bones in centimeters. In this scenario, we will use the ___________ bone length as the explanatory variable. Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button.

Answer:

In this scenario, we will use the <u>femur or the thigh</u> bone length as the explanatory variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dependent variables are those variables that are under study, i.e. they are being observed for any changes when the other variables in the model are changed.

The dependent variables are also known as response variables.

Independent variables are the variables that are being altered to see a proportionate change in the dependent variable. In a regression model there can be one or more than one independent variables.

The independent variables are also known as the explanatory variables.

Scientifically it is believed that the length of arm and legs are related and basically grow at the same time.

So, in this case the explanatory variable can either of the two bone lengths.

Thus, the complete statement is:

"In this scenario, we will use the <u>femur or the thigh</u> bone length as the explanatory variable."

HELP ME PLZZZ!!!! URGENT!!!​
finlep [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p

x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0

x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0

Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,

1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]

2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]

3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].

Discriminant of the given equation = (p+1)^2-4(1)(2p-5)

For real roots,

(p+1)^2-4(1)(2p-5)>0

p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0

p² - 6p + 21 > 0

For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.

For what interval is the value of (f – g)(x) negative?
mrs_skeptik [129]

<u>Complete question:</u>

Refer the attached diagram

<u>Answer:</u>

In reference to the attached figure, (-∞, 2) is the value where (f-g) (x) negative.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

From the attached figure, it shows that given data:

f (x) = x – 3

g (x) = - 0.5 x

To Find: At what interval the value of (f-g) (x) negative

So, first we need to calculate the (f-g) (x)

(f – g ) (x) = f (x) – g (x) = x-3 - (- 0.5 x)

⇒ (f - g) (x) =1.5 x - 3

Now we are supposed to find the interval for which (f-g) (x) is negative.

⇒ (f - g) (x) = x - 3+ 0.5 x = 1.5 x – 3 < 0

⇒ 1.5 x – 3 < 0

⇒ 1.5 x < 3

⇒ x

⇒ x < 2

Thus for (f - g) (x) negative x must be less than 2. Thereby, the interval is (-∞, 2). Function is negative when graph line lies below the x - axis.
