Answer:

x=-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x^2 +20 x +25 = 0

x^2+5x=-25/4

(b/2)^2=(5/2)^2

x^2+5x+25/4=0

(x+5/2)^2=0

x=-5/2

Which function best fits the following points?

Goryan [66]

Given:

The graph of a scatter plot.

To find:

The function that best fits the given points.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the linear function is the best fit for the given points because the points lie on a straight line or near to it.

So, options B and C are incorrect because they represent exponential and quadratic function respectively.

Let as assume the two points on the graph are (0.80,-12.82) and (2,-12.79).

Using this two points, the equation of line is:

$y-(-12.82)=\dfrac{-12.79-(-12.82)}{2-0.80}(x-0.80)$

$y+12.82=\dfrac{-12.79+12.82}{2-0.80}(x-0.80)$

$y+12.82=0.025(x-0.80)$

$y+12.82=0.025x-0.02$

$y=0.025x-0.02-12.82$

$y=0.025x-12.84$

$y=-12.84+0.025x$

It is the approximate function to the function that is in option A.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Your new dresser will be 2/5ths larger than your old dresser. Your old dresser can hold 6.25 cubic feet, how much cubic feet wil

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

8.75 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Your new dresser will be $\frac{2}{5}^{ths}$ larger than your old dresser.

This means that your new dresser wil be

$1+\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5+2}{5}=\dfrac{7}{5}$

of your old dresser.

Your old dresser can hold 6.25 cubic feet, so your new dresser can hold

$\dfrac{7}{5}\cdot 6.25=7\cdot 1.25=8.75\ ft^3$
