Trey believes there is a correlation between the number of texts sent during class and GPA. He collected data and found that the

line of best fit for his data can be modeled by the equation y = 3.8 − 0.4x.
Identify and interpret the slope in this scenario.

The slope is −0.4. Starting at 3.8, the GPA will decrease by 0.4 for every text sent in class.

The slope is 0.4. Starting at 3.8, the GPA will increase by 0.4 for every text sent in class.

Answer: First Option

The slope is −0.4. Starting at 3.8, the GPA will decrease by 0.4 for every text sent in class.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line has the following form

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the axis of the y

In this case, the equation is:

y = 3.8 - 0.4x\\\\y=-0.4x+3.8

Observe that

m = -0.4\\b = 3.8

So if x represents the number of texts sent during classes, this means that x\geq 0

When x increases by one unit then y decreases -0.4. For example when x=1 then y=3.8-0.4=3.4

Then the greatest value it can take the GPA is 3.8. Therefore we can say that the function starts at y = 3.8.

The answer is the first option

The least value of the function x^2 + px + q is 3 and this occurs when x = - 2. find the values of p and q
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Hello,

p=4

q=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the parabola is (-2,3)

Equation of the parabola is  k(x+2)²+3=x²+px+q

Let's identify the coefficients:

kx²+4kx+4k+3=x²+px+q

so

k=1

4*1=p

4*1+3=q

Which one doesn’t belong with the other three? Explain your reasoning plz plz answer #3
Ahat [919]

The box provides some examples of how<em> exponents can be used to shorten repeated multiplication</em>. The first, third, and fourth boxes all show how the repeated multiplication of 2, 3, and 5 can all be abbreviated as 2^4, 3^2 and 5^3. The only expression which doesn't belong is 3+3+3+3=3(4), because it's showing how repeated <em>addition</em> can be shortened to <em>multiplication</em>.

A triangle has sides that measure 2 units, 5 units, and 5.39 units. What is the area of a circle with a circumference that equal
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

12units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle that has sides that measure 2 units, 5 units, and 5.39 units,

Perimeter of the triangle = 2 + 5 + 5.39

Perimeter of the triangle = 12.39units

since the circumference is equal to the perimeter of the triangle, hence;

C = 12.39units

C = 2πr

r is the radius of the circle

12.39 = 2(3.14)r

12.39 = 6.28r

r = 12.39/6.28

r = 1.973 units

Get the area

Area = πr²

Area of the circle = 3.14(1.973 )²

Area of the circle = 3.14(3.892)

Area of the circle = 12.22units²

Area of the circle ≈ 12units²
