Answer:

a) Equation for Snow Dome Ski Resort:

I_s = 65+t

Equation for Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort:

I_m = 74+\frac{t}{2}

b) After 19 hours, Snow dome will have more snow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial snow at Snow Dome Ski Resort = 65 inches

Snowing rate at Snow Dome Ski Resort = 1 inch per hour

Initial snow at Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort = 74 inches

Initial snow at Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort = \frac{1}{2} inch per hour

a) To write equations that show amount of snow at each resort.

Let the time in hours be represented by t.

Snow increased in t hours by snowing at Snow Dome Ski Resort = 1\times t = t inches per hour

Snow increased in t hours by snowing at Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort = \frac{1}{2}\times t = \frac{t}{2} inches per hour

Equation for Snow Dome Ski Resort:

I_s = 65+t

Equation for Mt. Winterpark Ski Resort:

I_m = 74+\frac{t}{2}

b) Time at which Snow Dome has more snow.

Using the above equations, we can write the following inequality:

65+t>74+\dfrac{t}{2}\\\Rightarrow t-\dfrac{t}{2}>74-65\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{2}>9\\\Rightarrow t>18\ hours

After 18 hours have passed, they will have equal amount of snow.

After 19 hours, Snow dome will have more snow.

Suppose the line of best fit for some data points has a slope of 4.915. If the mean of the x-coordinates of the data points is 1
8_murik_8 [283]
Using the slope-intercept formula,  y=mx+b where m is the slope of the line and b being the y-intercept, by direct substitution, the y-intercept can be directly be obtained,
y=mx+b
14.347 = (4.915)(10.088) + b
therefore, the y-intercept, b = -35.236
