Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define
</u>
y = home runs
x = hits
[Best Line of Fit] y = 0.15x - 1.5
<em>We can use this to predict the average of the scatter plot.
</em>
home runs = y = 35
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em><u> hits</u>
-
Substitute [BLF]: 35 = 0.15x - 1.5
- Add 1.5 on both sides: 36.5 = 0.15x
- Divide 0.15 on both sides: 243.333 = x
- Rewrite: x = 243.333
Remember that this is a <em>prediction</em>. According to the best line of fit, we would need approximately ~243 to get 35 home runs.
64% of 75 is 48..........
Answer:
8(x+3)
Explanation:
"The product of 8 and" means 8 is going to be multiplied times another quantity. "...the sum of a number x and 3" means that 8 is going to be multiplied times (x+3).
This is represented by 8×(x+3), which simplifies to 8(x+3).
Establish two right triangles, both with the height of the pole, h.
Call x the distance from the pole to one stake. Then the distance from the other stake to the pole is 6 -x.
Apply Pytagora's equation to both triangles.
1) h^2 = 7^2 - x^2
2) h^2 = 8^2 - (6-x)^2
Eaual 1 to 2
7^2 - x^2 = 8^2 - 6^2 +12x -x^2
12x = 7^2 -8^2 +6^2 = 49 -64 + 36 = 21
x = 1.75
Substitue x-value in 1
h^2 = 49 - (1.75)^2 = 45.94
h = sqrt(45.94) = 6.78
Answer: option d.
