Answer:
The difference is <em>2 inches</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we identify the equation as given in the question;
y = 1.42105x - 32.2632
We need to know which of the two is the dependent variable i.e y-value and which is the independent variable x-value between the brothers' heights and the sisters' heights. To do this, we have to start with an assumption and check which of the two is for the brothers' or for the sisters,
Let's say the brothers' heights is x, we select any of the data points; (68,64)
we input this into the line of best fit equation; 64 =1.42105(68) - 32.2632 = 96.6314-32.2632= 64.3682
We can see the value on the left hand side of the equation correlates with that on the right hand side. This confirms our assumption that the brothers' heights refer to the independent variable x.
Now, let's plug the values for the 71 inches heights
y = 1.42105(71) - 32.2632 = 68.63 approximately 64
In the table, we can see that the predict sister height at that particular data point is 71 inches. The difference between the predicted height and the actual height is thus 71-69 = 2 inches
Answer:
2x - 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = sum of sides
First let's simplify each side
We can simplify each side by using distributive property. Distributive property is where you multiply the number on the outside of the parenthesis by the numbers on the inside of the parenthesis.
2(x + 5)
Distribute by multiplying x and 5 by 2
2 * x = 2x and 2 * 5 = 10
2x + 10
1/2(4x + 8)
Distribute by multiplying 4x and 8 by 1/2
1/2 * 4x = 2x and 1/2 * 8 = 4
2x + 4
-3(2x + 11)
Distribute by multiplying 2x and 11 by -3
-3 * 2x = -6x
-3 * -33
-6x - 33
Finally add all the simplified expressions ( remember that they represent the side lengths of the triangle )
2x + 10 + 2x + 4 - 6x - 33
Combine like terms
2x + 2x - 6x = -2x
10 + 4 - 33 = -19
Perimeter: -2x - 19
