(a) How would you characterize the relationship between the hours spent on homework and the test scores? Explain
For this case what we see is that we have a scatter diagram, which we can model using a linear trend defining the following variables:
x: number of hours studied.
y: test scores.
The linear relationship would be of the form:
y = mx + b
(b) Paul uses the function y = 8x + 40 to model the situation. What score does the model predict for 3 h of homework?
y = 8x + 40
For three hours of study we have that the note would be approximately:
y = 8 * (3) + 40
y = 64
(c) What does the number 40 in Part (b) mean in the context of the situation?
The number 40 means that if you do not devote any study time, then you expect the test score to be 40.
To round 0.472 to the nearest tenth consider the hundredths' value of 0.472, which is 7 and equal or more than 5. Therefore, the tenths value of 0.472 increases by 1 to 5.
So, the answer would be 0.5.

Let x represent the length of the side of the pen that is parallel to the barn. Then the area (y) will be
.. y = x(300 -x)/2
This describes a downward opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=300. The vertex (maximum) will be found at the value of x that is halfway between those, x = 150.
For that value of x, the pen area is
.. y = 150(300 -150)/2 = 150^2/2 = 11,250 . . . . . square feet.
ANSWER: Multiply and Divide from left to right
To do this question we must follow the rules of PEMDAS. The first step would be to evaluate the equation given to us in the parentheses. To solve that we would have to use PEMDAS once again which tells us to multiply 2 x 2 before we add 3, so we get 7. Now that there is no more Parentheses, our second step is to evaluate each Multiplication and Division expression from left to right. This would start by dividing 63 by 7 to get 9.
You subtract the like terms, don't forget to distribute the subtraction sign, its 7x2+5x
