Answer:

280.8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Original weight of pig = 54 pounds

Percentage increase in weight = 420%

Current weight of pig = original weight + 420% of original weight

= 54 + 420% of 54

= 54 + 420/100 * 54

= 54 + 4.2 * 54

= 54 + 226.8

= 280.8 pounds

Current weight of pig = 280.8 pounds

What is the quadratic regression equation for the data set? ​ ​ ​ <br><br> PLEASEE HELP ME
Soloha48 [4]
You're trying to find constants a_0,a_1,a_2 such that \hat y=a_0+a_1\hat x+a_2{\hat x}^2. Equivalently, you're looking for the least-square solution to the following matrix equation.


\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}1&6&6^2\\1&3&3^2\\\vdots&\vdots&\vdots\\1&9&9^2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf A}\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf x}=\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}100\\110\\\vdots\\70\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf b}

To solve \mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b, multiply both sides by the transpose of \mathbf A, which introduces an invertible square matrix on the LHS.

\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b\implies\mathbf A^\top\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b\implies\mathbf x=(\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A)^{-1}\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b

Computing this, you'd find that

\mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}\approx\begin{bmatrix}121.119\\-3.786\\-0.175\end{bmatrix}

which means the first choice is correct.

Instructions: Find the missing side of the triangle.<br> 48<br> 50
Lynna [10]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

48 ^2 + x^2 = 50^2

2304+x^2=2500

x^2 = 2500-2304

x^2 =196

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(196)

x = 14

A system of equations with a linear and quadratic equation must have one solution.
Ierofanga [76]
That is false because, this type of system can have one solution, two solutions, or no solutions. Graph both equations on the same coordinate plane. Identify the point of intersection, if any.
