Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I always like to use the mean if I can. In this data set, it's probably not a very good idea. Too much weight is given to that 7.2 and the two 3.2s.
I would choose the median, because the mode is the same answer and that's a good enough reason for choosing anything. 2 out 3 isn't bad as they say in Baseball.
Answer:
x = 17 and y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since (6x + 3) and (8x - 31) are alternate interior angles, they are congruent.
Therefore, you can set them equal to each other and solve for x.
8x - 31 = 6x + 3
Combine like terms
2x = 34
Divide both sides by two
x = 17
Since (5y + 35) and (6x + 3) are consecutive interior angles, they add up to 180. Plug in 17 for x.
(5y + 35) + (6(17) + 3) = 180
Add like terms
5y + 140 = 180
5y = 40
y = 8

6 years
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
x = 6 years to the nearest year
Answer:
A linear function is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
An exponential equation is written as:
y = A*(r)^x
Where A is the initial quantity and r is the rate of growth.
If a and A are both positives, the similar characteristic of both types of functions is that as x increases, then the value of y will also increase. Then both functions are increasing functions.
They are different in how they increase, while a linear function increases at a constant rate, an exponential function increases slow at the beginning and really fast as x increases, as you can see in the image below where we compare the two types of functions, the green one is the linear function, and the blue one is the exponential function.
