Plugging in the data points into a quadratic regression application, we get the following regression:

y = ax^2 + bx + c,
where:
a= 0.00267857
b= 0.0110714
c= 2.85743
with an R² value of 0.9851

To calculate a person’s BMI, you divide their weight( in kg) by their height ( in square meters). First convert 169 pounds to kg, which is 76.66. Then convert 65 inches to meters. 65 inches= 1.65 meters. Then divide 76.66/1.65= 46.46 kg/m

A rectangle has a width of 59 centimeters and a perimeter of 238 centimeters. What is the rectangle's length?

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

2x the width and 2x the length gives you the perimeter. This can be represented by the equation:

2w + 2L = P

Use the information given in the word problem to fill in the variables.

2(59) + 2L = 238

118 + 2L = 238

move 118 to the other side of the equation.

2L = 238 - 118

2L = 120

move 2 to the other side of the equation.

L = $\frac{120}{2}$

L = 60

The position of an object moving along an x axis is given by x = 3.24 t - 4.20 t2 + 1.07 t3, where x is in meters and t in secon

Pavel [41]

Answer and explanation:

Given : The position of an object moving along an x axis is given by $x=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$ where x is in meters and t in seconds.

To find : The position of the object at the following values of t :

a) At t= 1 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(1)=3.24(1)-4.20(1)^2+1.07(1)^3$

$x(1)=3.24-4.20+1.07$

$x(1)=0.11$

b) At t= 2 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(2)=3.24(2)-4.20(2)^2+1.07(2)^3$

$x(2)=6.48-16.8+8.56$

$x(2)=-1.76$

c) At t= 3 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(3)=3.24(3)-4.20(3)^2+1.07(3)^3$

$x(3)=9.72-37.8+28.89$

$x(3)=0.81$

d) At t= 4 s

$x(t)=3.24t-4.20t^2+1.07t^3$

$x(4)=3.24(4)-4.20(4)^2+1.07(4)^3$

$x(4)=12.96-67.2+68.48$

$x(4)=14.24$

(e) What is the object's displacement between t = 0 and t = 4 s?

At t=0, x(0)=0

At t=4, x(4)=14.24

The displacement is given by,

$\triangle x=x(4)-x(0)$

$\triangle x=14.24-0$

$\triangle x=14.24$

(f) What is its average velocity from t = 2 s to t = 4 s?

At t=2, x(2)=-1.76

At t=4, x(4)=14.24

The average velocity is given by,

$\triangle x=x(4)-x(2)$

$\triangle x=14.24-(-1.76)$

$\triangle x=14.24+1.76$

$\triangle x=16$
