Water is filling a swimming pool at a constant rate. After 4 hours, 2 inches of water have filled the pool. Write an equation th

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Inches per hour is the rate we are looking for here, which will then be the slope of the linear equation. Slope is the same thing as the rate of change. While this may not seem all that important right now, it's actually a HUGE concept in higher math, especially calculus!

If the pool is filling at a rate of 2 inches per every 4 hours, then by dividing, we get that the rate is 1 inch every 2 hours, which translates to a slope of 1/2. Creating an equation with this slope:

w=\frac{1}{2}t  Let's check it. We are told that after 4 hours there are 2 inches of water in the pool. That means if we plug in 4 for t and solve for w, we should get w = 2:

w=\frac{1}{2}(4) and

w = 2. So we're good!

If data set A has a smaller standard deviation than data set B, what would be different about their distributions?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Data set B would have flatter distribution with more data in each tail.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Data set A has a smaller standard deviation than data set B.

\sigma_A < \sigma_B

Standard Deviation:

  • It is a measure of dispersion of data.
  • It tells us about how much the data deviates around the mean.
  • It tells us about the overall deviation of the data from the mean.
  • The standard deviation is small when the data are all close to the mean showing less variation.
  • The standard deviation is larger when the data values are farther away from the mean, showing more variation.

Since data A has less standard deviation than data B, then data B has a flatter graphical representation as more of the data are present on the tails.

What is the average rate of change of f(x) = (x + 3)2 − 2
Tema [17]

Answer:

When we have a function f(x), the average rate of change in the interval (a, b) is:

r = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

In this case, we have the function:

f(x) = (x + 3)^2 - 2

(but we do not have the interval, and I couldn't find the complete question online)

So if for example, we have the interval (2, 4)

The average rate of change will be:

r = \frac{(4 + 3)^2 - 2 - (2 + 3)^2 + 2}{4 - 2}  = \frac{24}{2} = 12

If instead, we want the rate of change in a differential dx around the value x, we need to differentiate the function (this is way more complex, so I will define some rules first).

Such that the rate of change, in this case, will be:

f'(x) = df/dx

For a function like:

g(x) = x^n + c

g'(x) = n*x^(n - 1)

And for:

h(x) = k( g(x))

h'(x) = k'(g(x))*g'(x)

So here we can write our function as:

f(x) = k(g(x)) = (x + 3)^2 - 2

where:

g(x) = x + 3

k(x) = x^2 - 2

Then:

f'(x) = 2*(x + 3)*1 = 2*x + 6

That is the rate of change as a function of x (but is not an "average" rate of change)

What is a Cartesian coordinate plane (math)
Nata [24]
A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length.
