Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let represent the score on Sarah's last test.

The average of her 8 test scores is 86.

This means:

(79+86+92+89+87+80+82+x)/8 =86

595+x=688

x=93

Alan and his classmates performed a linear regression analysis on the data set shown below and found that the line of best fit t

Answer:

C. $y=\frac{4}{5}x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Alan and his classmates found that the line of best fit through the data had the equation $y=-\frac{5}{4}x+18$

The slope of this line is $m=-\frac{5}{4}$

If a line would intersect this line of best fit at right angles, then the two lines are perpendicular to each other.

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other,

Hence that line must have slope $\frac{-1}{-\frac{5}{4}} =\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore we look for a line whose slope is $\frac{4}{5}$ from the given options.

That line is the third option $y=\frac{4}{5}x+7$

Divide a 5-inch line into two parts so that one part (a) 2 1/4 inches shorter than the other; (b) 3 times the other.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Part a), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x - y = 2.25
2x = 7.25
x = 3.625
y = 1.375

part b), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x = 3y
y = 1.25
x = 3.75

A scientist counts 25 bacteria present in a culture and finds that the number of bacteria triples each hour. The function y = 25

Anvisha [2.4K]

$y = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ 1170 = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ \frac{1170}{25} = 3^x\\ \\ \frac{243}{5} = 3^x\\ \\ log\ \frac{243}{5} = log~3^x\\ \\ log~243-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 
 log~3^5-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 5~log~3-log~5 = x~log~3\\ \\ 5(0,48)-0,70= 0,48x\\ \\ 2,4-0,7 = 0,48x\\ \\ 1,7=0,48x\\ \\ x=\frac{1,7}{0,48}\\ \\ \large{\boxed{x=3,54\ h}}$
