Let us model this problem with a polynomial function.
Let x = day number (1,2,3,4, ...)
Let y = number of creatures colled on day x.
Because we have 5 data points, we shall use a 4th order polynomial of the form
y = a₁x⁴ + a₂x³ + a₃x² + a₄x + a₅
Substitute x=1,2, ..., 5 into y(x) to obtain the matrix equation
| 1 1 1 1 1 | | a₁ | | 42 |
| 2⁴ 2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰ | | a₂ | | 26 |
| 3⁴ 3³ 3² 3¹ 3⁰ | | a₃ | = | 61 |
| 4⁴ 4³ 4² 4¹ 4⁰ | | a₄ | | 65 |
| 5⁴ 5³ 5² 5¹ 5⁰ | | a₅ | | 56 |
When this matrix equation is solved in the calculator, we obtain
a₁ = 4.1667
a₂ = -55.3333
a₃ = 253.3333
a₄ = -451.1667
a₅ = 291.0000
Test the solution.
y(1) = 42
y(2) = 26
y(3) = 61
y(4) = 65
y(5) = 56
The average for 5 days is (42+26+61+65+56)/5 = 50.
If Kathy collected 53 creatures instead of 56 on day 5, the average becomes
(42+26+61+65+53)/5 = 49.4.
Now predict values for days 5,7,8.
y(6) = 152
y(7) = 571
y(8) = 1631
The correct answer is A) yes, the sum of each pair is greater than the third.
The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is longer than the third side. This is true for these numbers, so this does form a triangle.
Answer:
So a triangle has to be 180° overall And that is an equilateral triangle therefore every angle is equal so every angle inside is 60° so ?=60° another way you can find this out is a straight line is equal to 180° and since you have the external angle which equals 120° you do 180°-120° and get 60° and the 180°-60°-60°=60° and that’s your mystery angle. I hope that’s not too confusing.
Answer:
405
Step-by-step explanation:
A = P(1-r)^t
A = 500 (1-.1)^2
A = 500 (.9)^2
= 500*0.81
= 405
