Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that both triangles are congruent meaning corresponding parts are equal. We know that line LN=54 and that RT=LN meaning that RT also equals 54. With that information we can simply subtract 6 from 54 to get 48 then divide by 4 to get 12. Hope this helps!

An icicle drips at a rate that can be represented by the function f(x) = −x2 + 8x − 7, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and x is the number of h

mart [117]

Find when f(x) = 0. By factorizing, we have

-x² + 8x - 7 = - (x - 7) (x - 1) = 0

so either x - 7 = 0 or x - 1 = 0, or simply x = 1 or x = 7.

Split the domain into three intervals, and check the sign of f(x) over each interval at some test point in the interval. The sign will tell you when the icicle is dripping (positive) or not (negative).

• [0, 1) : at x = 0, we have f(0) = -7 < 0

• (1, 7) : at x = 2, we have f(2) = 5 > 0

• (7, 10] : at x = 8, we have f(8) = -7 < 0

This tells us that the icicle is not dripping when 0 ≤ x < 1, begins to drip when x = 1, drips for the duration of 1 < x < 7, stops dripping when x = 7, and keeps on not dripping when 7 < x ≤ 10.

Ten pairs of data yield r = 0.003 and the regression equation =2+3x Also, the mean = 5 What is the best predicted value of y for

Olenka [21]

Answer:

$\hat y(2)=2 +3(2) =8$

C 8.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the linear model y=mx+b where m is the slope and b the intercept.

For this case the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

$b=\bar y -m \bar x$

After the calculations we see that m=3 and b=2 from the info given by the linear model.

For this case we have the equation obtained by least squares given by:

$\hat y =2 +3x$

Where 2 represent the intercept and 3 the slope. We are interested on the best predicted value of y when x=2.

If we see our linear model we have the equation in terms of y and x. So we can replace directly the value of x=2 into the equation and see what we got:

$\hat y(2)=2 +3(2) =8$

To determine the scale both measurements must be in the same unit, either feet or meters. 1 meter = 3.28084 feet525 meters = 1722.441 feet Scale is 4.2 / 1722.441, or 0.00243839992 1 foot = 0.3048 meters4.2 feet = 1.28016 meters 1.2801 / 525 = 0.0024389992
