In 2003, the average combined SAT score (math and verbal) for college-bound students in the United States was 1026. Suppose that

Answer: Anything between 0 and 10, excluding both endpoints.
In terms of symbols we can say 0 < w < 10 where w is the width.
===================================================
Explanation:
You could do this with two variables, but I think it's easier to instead use one variable only. This is because the length is dependent on what you pick for the width.
w = width
2w = twice the width
2w-5 = five less than twice the width = length
So,
- width = w
- length = 2w-5
which lead to
area = length*width
area = (2w-5)*w
area = 2w^2-5w
area < 150
2w^2 - 5w < 150
2w^2 - 5w - 150 < 0
To solve this inequality, we will solve the equation 2w^2-5w-150 = 0
Use the quadratic formula. Plug in a = 2, b = -5, c = -150
Ignore the negative solution as it makes no sense to have a negative width.
The only practical root is w = 10.
If w = 10 feet, then the area = 2w^2-5w results in 150 square feet.
----------------------
Based on that root, we need to try a sample value that is to the left of it.
Let's say we try w = 5.
2w^2 - 5w < 150
2*5^2 - 5*5 < 150
25 < 150 ... which is true
This shows that if 0 < w < 10, then 2w^2-5w < 150 is true.
Now try something to the right of 10. I'll pick w = 15
2w^2 - 5w < 150
2*15^2 - 5*15 < 150
375 < 150 ... which is false
It means w > 10 leads to 2w^2-5w < 150 being false.
Therefore w > 10 isn't allowed if we want 2w^2-5w < 150 to be true.
Answer:
4. C)
3. B) 9,6 = the number of points you would increase each hour of studying; 65,8 = your score if you studied 0 hours
2. B) The events have a strong positive linear correlation.
1. C) Find the slope using the slope formula:
Step-by-step explanation:
4. (−7, 10) → 10 = 7 + 3 ☑
(−1, 4) → 4 = 1 + 3 ☑
(0, 3) → 3 = 0 + 3 ☑
(3, −2) → −2 ≠ −3 + 3; 0 ☒
3. You obviously have to plug "0" in for x to get your initial value of 65,8, which represents the minimum value of points you would receive if you never were to study, and of course, the 9,6 is the average score increased for every hour studied.
2. The correlation coefficient is 0,02, which is positive, so this would be the obvious choice.
1. You CANNOT write a linear equation without FIRST finding the rate of change [slope]. You will ALWAYS need the rate of change in order to write any linear equation.
