The congruent side is going to be 9
Answer:
- y = 0.937976x +12.765
- $12,765
- $31,524
- the cost increase each year
Step-by-step explanation:
1. For this sort of question a graphing calculator or spreadsheet are suitable tools. The attached shows the linear regression line to have the equation ...
... y = 0.937976x + 12.765
where x is years since 2000, and y is average tuition cost in thousands.
2. The y-intercept is the year-2000 tuition: $12,765.
3. Evaluating the formula for x=20 gives y ≈ 31.524, so the year-2020 tuition is expected to be $31,524.
4. The slope is the rate of change of tuition with respect to number of years. It is the average increase per year (in thousands). It amounts to about $938 per year.
5. [not a math question]
Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we are comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they are called unlike fractions.
To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 5 will be the least common multiple of 3 and 5 or 15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 5/15.
To get a 15 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 9/15.
Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 15 in the denominator.
To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators.
9/15 - 5/15
Since 9 is greater than 5, 9/15 is greater than 5/15.
This means that 3/5 is bigger than 1/3.
The profit is 5rs because 25-20=5rs
