Answer:m(.70)+80(.25)=.6(m+80)

.7m+20=.6m+48

.1m=28

m=28/.1=280 gallons of 25% antifreeze needed

You're trying to find constants $a_0,a_1,a_2$ such that $\hat y=a_0+a_1\hat x+a_2{\hat x}^2$ . Equivalently, you're looking for the least-square solution to the following matrix equation.

$\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}1&6&6^2\\1&3&3^2\\\vdots&\vdots&\vdots\\1&9&9^2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf A}\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf x}=\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}100\\110\\\vdots\\70\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf b}$

To solve $\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b$ , multiply both sides by the transpose of $\mathbf A$ , which introduces an invertible square matrix on the LHS.

$\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b\implies\mathbf A^\top\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b\implies\mathbf x=(\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A)^{-1}\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b$

Computing this, you'd find that

$\mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}\approx\begin{bmatrix}121.119\\-3.786\\-0.175\end{bmatrix}$

which means the first choice is correct.

Answer:

10 2/3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Subtract the values:</u>

19 1/12 - 8 5/12 =
18 13/12 - 8 5/12 =
18 - 8 + 13/12 - 5/12 =
10 + 8/12 =
10 8/12 =

Ivy’s father wanted to keep track of the gas he purchased for 3 weeks. He purchased 22.5 gallons during the first week and 19.71

wlad13 [49]

Total amount of gas purchased by Ivy's father in the first week = 22.5 gallons
total amount of gas purchased by Ivy's father in the second week = 19.71 gallons
Let us assume the amount of gas purchased by Ivy's father in the third week = x
The total quantity of gas purchased in 3 weeks by Ivy's father = 61.75 gallons
Then
22.5 + 19.71 + x = 61.75
42.21 + x = 61.75
x = 61.75 - 42.21
= 19.54 gallons
So 19.54 gallons of gas was bought by Ivy's father in the third week
