-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
Hi There!
Answer: Bowler 2
Why: if you notice that line in the box plot shows the median and it specifically shows that the meadian is 20 or so greater than Bowler 1.
They do not appear to be symmectric. they seem to line up well
Let's start with saying he earned 2766.79. He he also earns 9% of his sales.
9% of something is just .09 multiplied by that something. So if he earns 9% of 3743.37 plus the 2766.79, then we can say
y= 0.09 * 3743.37 + 2766.79
y = 3,103.69
Given :
A right angle triangle ABC .
To Find :
The perimeter of ABC .
Solution :
Since, triangle ABC is right angled and angle ∠ABC is 46° .
So, AC = AB cos 46° = 7.64 units.
Also, CB = AB sin 46° = 7.91 units.
Therefore, the perimeter of ΔABC is :
P = 11 + 7.64 + 7.91 units
P = 26.55 units
Hence, this is the required solution.
