the following equation can be used to predict the average height of boys anywhere b/w birth and 15 years old: y=2.79x+25.64, whe

re x is the age(in yrs) and y is the height (in inches). what does the slope represent? interpret the slope in the cintext of the problem. What does the y-intercept represent in this problem? intercept the y-intercept in the context of the problem. ...?

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The standard linear equation is given by :-

$y=mx+c$ , where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given equation to predict the average height of boys anywhere b/w birth and 15 years old:

$y=2.79x+25.64$ , where x is the age(in yrs) and y is the height (in inches).

By comparing this equation to the standard linear equation, we have

Slope = 2.79 and y-intercept = 25.64

The slope tells that the rate of change of average height of boys with respect to age is 2.79 .

The y-intercept tells that the initial average height of boys =25.64 inches

Which fraction is between 0.6 and 0.7

maw [93]

If you write .6 and .7 as fractions you get 6/10 and 7/10. If you double those you get 12/20 and 14/20, so one potential fraction between the two could be 13/20.

Question 1) When multiplying powers with the same base, keep the base and _______________ the exponents.

nika2105 [10]

The rules are

$x^a\cdot x^b = x^{a+b}$

$\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}$

Let me show you why with a couple of examples: suppose we want to multiply

$4^3\cdot 4^2$

Since powers are just repeated multiplications, we have

$4^3\cdot 4^2 = \underbrace{4\cdot 4\cdot 4}_{4^3}\cdot\underbrace{4\cdot 4}_{4^2}=4^5 = 4^{3+2}$

Similarly, we have

$\dfrac{4^3}{4^2} = \dfrac{4\cdot 4 \cdot 4}{4\cdot 4} = 4 = 4^1 = 4^{3-2}$
