A set of kitchen containers can be stacked to save space. The height of the stack is given by the expression LaTeX: 1.5c+7.61.5

c + 7.6 where c is the number of containers. What is the height of a stack made of 8 containers?____ cm A tower made of all the containers is 40.6 cm tall. How many containers are in the set?______ containers Noah looks at the equation and says, "7.6 must be the height of a single container." Do you agree with Noah? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Part A

The height of the stack made of 8 containers is 19.6 cm

Part B

When the tower is 40.6 cm tall, the number of containers in the set are 22 containers

Part C

(Disagree) The height of a single container is 9.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to containers, stacked one inside the other such that the height increases by only the wider top edge of the containers

The given expression that gives the height of the stack is presented as follows;

1.5·c + 7.6

Where;

c = The number of containers in the stack

Part A

When there are 8 containers, we have;

h(8) = 1.5 × 8 + 7.6 = 19.6

The height of the stack made of 8 containers, h(8) = 19.6 cm

Part B

When the tower (height of the stack set) is 40.6 cm tall, we have;

h(c) = 1.5·c + 7.6 = 40.6

∴ The number of containers, c = (40.6 - 7.6)/1.5 = 22

When the tower is 40.6 cm tall, the number of containers in the set, c = 22 containers

Part C

Given that the height stack increases only by the thickness of the wider rim of each added container, we have;

The expression for the height of the stack , 1.5·c + 7.6, is the expression for a straight line equation, m·x + c

The thickness of each rim = The slope, of the line, m = The increase in height with number of containers = 1.5

The number of containers (The independent variable, x) = The number of stacked rims = c

The minimum height = The height of a single container = 1.5 × 1 + 7.6 = 9.1

Therefore, the height of a single container = 9.1 not 7.6

The graph described is the graph of a quadratic function.

The x-intercept of the function is at; (8, 0).

<h3>What type of function is described by the graph?</h3>

It follows from the description box of the graph that it begins in the third quadrant, and rises through a series of points in the first quadrant before it exits the first quadrant.

Hence, it follows that the graph is a quadratic function and its x-intercept is at point; (8,0).

Marty made a $220 bank deposit using $10 bills and $5 bills. She gave the teller a total of 38 bills, how many $5 bills were in
Luda [366]

ANSWER: 32 five-dollar bills

======

EXPLANATION:

Let x be number of $5 bills

Let y be number of $10 bills

Since we have total of 38 bills, we must have the sum of x and y be 38

x + y = 38 (I)

Since the total amount deposited is $220, we must have the sum of 5x and 10y be 220 (x and y are just the "number of" their respective bills, so we multiply them by their value to get the total value):

5x + 10y = 220 (II)

System of equations:

\left\{ \begin{aligned} x + y &= 38 && \text{(I)} \\ 5x + 10y &= 220 && \text{(II)} \end{aligned} \right.

Divide both sides of equation (II) by 5 so our numbers become smaller

\left\{ \begin{aligned} x + y &= 38 && \text{(I)} \\ x + 2y &= 44 && \text{(II)} \end{aligned} \right.

Rearrange (I) to solve for y so that we can substitute into (II)

\begin{aligned} x + y &= 38 && \text{(I)} \\ y &= 38 - x \end{aligned}

Substituting this into equation (II) for the y:

\begin{aligned} x + 2y &= 44 && \text{(II)} \\ x + 2(38 - x) &= 44\\ x + 76 - 2x &= 44 \\ -x &= -32 \\ x &= 32 \end{aligned}

We have 32 five-dollar bills

======

If we want to finish off the question, use y = 38 - x to figure out number of $10 bills

y = 38 - 32 = 6

32 five-dollar bills and 6 ten-dollar bills

After running a regression, you plotted the residual against the predicted value. You observed that the residuals seem to increa
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A. the error term has a constant variance

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, note that it is observed the residuals increase as the predicted value increases. Now the natural logarithm transformation will change will change a skewed variable into a normal distributed value, which leads to a linear regression between the both variables, since they (the independent and dependent variables) are normal. A key assumption of linear regression is Homoscedasticity, therefore the error term obtains the same finite variance.

So as soon as the transformation is applied, the error term will therefore have a constant variance.
