Answer:
y = 3.02x^3 -5.36x^2 +5.68x +8.66
Step-by-step explanation:
Your graphing calculator (or other regression tool) can solve this about as quickly as you can enter the numbers. If you have a number of regression formulas to work out, it is a good idea to become familiar with at least one tool for doing so.
__
If you're trying to do this by hand, the x- and y-values give you 4 equations in the 4 unknown coefficients.
a·1^3 +b·1^2 +c·1 +d = 12
a·3^3 +b·3^2 +c·3 +d = 59
a·6^3 +b·6^2 +c·6 +d = 502
a·8^3 +b·8^2 +c·8 +d = 1257
Solving this by elimination, substitution, or matrix methods is tedious, but not impossible. Calculators and web sites can help. The solutions are a = 317/105, b = -75/14, c = 1193/210, d = 303/35. Approximations to these values are shown above.
Answer:
The initial value in the word problem is the output value when input value is set to zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
- In the question, it is given that a problem uses a linear function.
- It is required to explain how to interpret the initial value in a word problem.
- In order to find the initial value in a world problem, find the output value when input value is set to zero.
- If the initial value is marked as b for a linear function f(x), find it as follow,
Answer:
<em>SOLUTION: Over the last three evenings, Heather received a total of 109 phone calls at the call center. The third evening, she received 4 times as many calls as the second evening</em>
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be a and b.
Therefore,
a - b = 3 ....... i
a + b = 13 ....... ii
From equation I, a = 3 + b
Put a = 3+b into equation ii
a + b = 13
3 + b + b = 13
3 + 2b = 13
2b = 13 - 3
2b = 10
b = 10/2
b = 5
Since a = 3 + b
a = 3 + 5
a = 8
The product of the numbers will be:
= 8 × 5
= 40
