In June, Tara gathered data about amusement park attendance on days with different temperatures. Tara used the equation y=−3.5x+

400 to model the number of children, y, at the amusement park as a function of the temperature, x. On a day in July, the temperature was 90°F and there were 60 children at the park. Which is the residual of this data point?

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the model:

y=−3.5x+400

Number of children in amusement park = y

Temperature = x

On a certain day:

Temperature = 90°F

Number of children in park = 60

Using the model :

The predicted number of children in park when temperature is 90°F would be :

y = - 3.5(90) + 400

y = - 315 + 400

y = 85

Model prediction = 85 children

Actual figure = 60

Residual :

|Actual - predicted | = |60 - 85| = 25 children

What is the range of the function below in set builder notation? y=|x-3|
Kisachek [45]

Answer:  \{y | \ y \in \mathbb{R}, \ y \ge 0\}

This translates to "y is any real number such that it is 0 or larger".

The reasoning is that the result of any absolute value function is either 0 or positive. In other words, we'll never get a negative result of an absolute value function. This is due to how absolute value represents distance. Negative distance does not make sense.

So if y = |x-3| then y = 0 is the smallest output possible. We could have any positive output we want.

In terms of a graph (see below), the V shape is at the lowest point (3,0). The y coordinate is all we care about in terms of finding the range. So we see the lowest y value is y = 0.

Point A is located at (−214,14). Point B is located at (234,14). What is the distance between point A and point B?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

10, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

take the x values and plug into mid point formula and then divide by 2

so... (-214 + 234) divided by 2 = 10

do the same for the y values

so ... (14 + 14) divided by 2 = 14

so ... 10,14

Please help:<br> In Δ ABC, sin A=88, sin B=42, and a =17, find the length of b.
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the law of sines.

\frac{sin A}{a} = \frac{sin B}{b} \\

Plug values in.

\frac{sin88}{17} = \frac{sin42}{b}\\

Cross multiply.

bsin88 = 17sin42\\b = 11.38

Hope that helps.
