Answer:

GraphB

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the best line of fit, we need the line which minimizes the sum of the squared distances, Therefore, from visual inspection, we can conclude that the best line of fit will be one in which the distance between each individual distance and the line of best fit is minimized, for the first graph, only the upper points are close to the regression line leaving the lower values further away, however, the secubd graph gives a more uniform distance between all the data values and the regression line. Hence, it does a better job at capturing the trend in the data.

Jane spent 3 hours exploring a mountain with a dirt bike. First, she rode 55 miles uphill. After she reached the peak she rode f
Neko [114]

Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x²  - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.

Two cards are chosen from a standard deck of 52 playing cards without replacement. What is the probability that the first card i
Rashid [163]

For the first draw, the probability of an ace is ( 4 / 52 ).

Now there are only 51 cards left in the deck.

For the second draw, the probability of a king is  ( 4 / 51 ).

The probability of both events is

(4/52) (4/41) = (16/2,652)

Divide top and bottom by 4:

(16/2,652) = <em>4/663</em> .  That's <em>choice-C </em>.

Solve x2 + 14x + 17 = –96 for x
jarptica [38.1K]

For this case we have to:

Given the quadratic equation of the form:

ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0

The roots are given by:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

If we have: x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 = -96

We can rewrite it in the following way:

x ^ 2 + 14x + 17 + 96 = 0\\x ^ 2 + 14x + 113 = 0

Where:

a = 1\\b = 14\\c = 113

Where we have:

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(14) ^ 2-4 (1) (113)}} {2 (1)}

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {(196-452)}} {2}

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {-256}} {2}

By definition: \sqrt {-1} = i

x = \frac {-14 \pm \sqrt {256} i} {2}

x = \frac {-14 \pm16i} {2}

x = \frac {-14} {2} \pm \frac {16i} {2}

x = -7 \pm8i

Thus, the roots are given by imaginary numbers:

x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i

Answer:

x_ {1} = - 7 + 8i\\x_ {2} = - 7-8i
