so if you take away 1/4 from 3/4 you will get 2/4
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 or 1/2
so the male elephant weights 1/2 a ton more than the female
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
B) The correlation coefficient is
, which can be determined by plugging the data into a TI-84 calculator.
C) A correlation coefficient of
indicates that the correlation between the independent and dependent variable (x and y in this case) is moderately strong with a positive correlation. The closer
is to 1, the stronger the positive correlation. The closer
is to -1, the stronger the negative correlation. If
is closer to 0, then there's no correlation.
Changing the x from positive to negative, reflects the graph over the Y-Axis.
Adding 7 to X shifts the graph horizontally 7 units to the right.
You can solve this in two ways.
1. Graphical. Plot the graph for x between -5 and 1 (see attachement).
The vertex of the graph is the peak of the curve, which has the coordinates x=-2, y=-9.
2. Analytical. Calculate the derivative of the function f(x)

Solve the equation:

will give the solution x=-2.
Replace x=-2 in the f(x) function and you'll get the value of y:

You get the same answer: x=-2, y=-9
So the answer is

Answer:
a = 9 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:
28 m = a + 2m + a + 8m
18 m = 2a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10m, collect terms
9 m = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The value of a is 9 meters.
