A student is assessing the correlation between the number of hours a plant receives sunlight and the height to which it grows. T

he table below shows the data:
Number of hours of sunlight
(x) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Height of plant in cm
(y) 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31

Part A: Is there any correlation between the number of hours of sunlight that a plant receives and the height to which it grows? Justify your answer.

Part B: Write a function which best fits the data.

Part C: What does the slope and y-intercept of the plot indicate about the plant?

Answer:

yes there is a linear correlation

reason : a increase of 1 hour results in an increase of 3 height

y= 3x + 4

it has  a positive slope of 3 ,and y intercept of 4

Answer:

Part A: Yes

Part B: y = 3x + 4

Part C: Slope: the height increases at a rate of 3 cm per hour of sunlight

y-intercept: initial height, without any sunlight is 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

As x increases by 1 unit, y increases by 3. Therefore there is a correlation between the variables

Slope: (7-4)/(1-0) = 3/1 = 3

y-intercept is at x = 0, which is 4

Equation:

y = 3x + 4

Slope: the height increases at a rate of 3 cm per hour of sunlight

y-intercept: initial height, without any sunlight is 4 cm

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. ​(9​,9​) and ​(-1​,- 3​)
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: (4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for coordinate of the mid point is given as :

Mid point = (\frac{x_{2}+x_{1}}{2} , \frac{y_{2}+y_{1}}{2} )

x_{1} = 9

x_{2} = -1

y_{1} = 9

y_{2} = -3

Substituting the values into the formula , we have :

Mid-point = (\frac{-1+9}{2} , \frac{-3+9}{2} )

Mid-point = ( \frac{8}{2} , \frac{6}{2} )

Mid - point = ( 4 , 3)

The solution is y = -5

What is Quadratic Equation?

A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x , ax² + bx + c = 0. with a ≠ 0. Because it is a second-order polynomial equation, the fundamental theorem of algebra guarantees that it has at least one solution. The solution may be real or complex.

Given data ,

Let the function be f ( x ) = y

And , y = x² + 2x - 8

So , f ( x ) = x² + 2x - 8

Substituting the value for x in the equation , we get

When x = -3

f ( -3 ) = ( -3 )² + 2( -3 ) - 8

         = 9 - 6 - 8

         = 9 - 14

f ( -3 ) = -5

When x = 1

f ( 1 ) = ( 1 )² + 2( 1 ) - 8

       = 1 + 2 - 8

       = 3 - 8

f ( 1 ) = -5

Hence , the value of y = -5

3. Write the quadratic function f (x) = x2 + 6x + 14 in vertex form.
VARVARA [1.3K]

well, let's start off by doing some grouping, what we'll be doing is so-called "completing the square" as in a perfect square trinomial, since that's what the vertex form of a quadratic uses.

\bf f(x) = (x^2+6x)+14\implies f(x) = (x^2+6x+\boxed{?}^2)+14

well, darn, we have a missing number for our perfect trinomial, however let's recall that in a perfect square trinomial the middle term is really the product of 2 times the term on the left and the term on the right without the exponent, so then we know that

\bf 2(x)\boxed{?} = 6x\implies \boxed{?}=\cfrac{6x}{2x}\implies \boxed{?}=3

well then, that's our mystery guy, now, let's recall all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0, so if we add 3², we also have to subtract 3².

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{"a"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"a"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ f(x) = (x^2+6x)+14\implies f(x) = (x^2+6x+3^2-3^2)+14 \\\\\\ f(x) = (x^2+6x+3^2)+14-3^2\implies f(x) = (x+3)^2+5~\hfill \stackrel{vertex}{(-3,5)}

Emily walked around 2 parks. One measures 54 feet by 38 feet and other measure 32 feet by 22 feet. How much did she walk?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

292 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If Emily walked round the two rectangular parks, she walked round the perimeter of the parks.

the total distance she walked can be determined by calculating the perimeter of each of the park and adding the perimeters together

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x ( length + breadth)

Perimeter of the first park = 2 x (54 ft + 38 ft) = 184 ft

Perimeter of the second park = 2x (32 + 22) = 108 ft

Sum of the perimeters = 184 ft + 108 ft = 292 ft
