Answer:
To convert a quadratic from y = ax2 + bx + c form to vertex form, y = a(x - h)2+ k, you use the process of completing the square.
Step-by-step explanation:
95% * x = 95
95/100 * x = 95
0,95 * x = 95
0,95x = 95 / : 0,95
x = 100
This is child's play.
So, basically:
Y=Length of foot
X= Length of your forearm.
This is simple. Your equation is Y=0.860x + 3.302
So, if you have a forearm (x) that is 17 inches long, then plug in x as 17. This leaves you to evaluate for Y.
New equation: Y=0.860(17) +3.302
Work it out, you get: Y=14.62 + 3.302
Work that out, you get: Y= 17.922 inches long.
And of course, Y is the foot.
So, your answer: If the forearm is 17 inches long, then the foot is 17.922 inches long. Simple.
So, part 2:
Rate of change. Well, you need slope then, because that's the same thing.
Y=mx+b, Where m=slope
Your answer turns to be 0.860 inches per length of arm, for rate of change.
Skipping the data, as that's only something you'd know.
Yes, it is indeed a function. There can't be any exponents greater than 1 on the placeholder, and it's obviously not a straight line if you plug it in.
So yeah, it's a function.

The answer would be, x = -14
The angle is equal, set x+40 = 60 solve for x, which is 20
