Set f(b) = b^2 - 75 = to 0 and solve for b:
b^2 = 75
b^2 = 25(3)
b = plus or minus sqrt(25[3]) = plus or minus sqrt(25)*sqrt(3) = plus or minus 5 sqrt(3).
It's supposed to be (0,-3) but I guess your answer should be A
Answer: Mike's arm span is 7.165 cm longer than the George's one.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the association between height and arm span is modeled by the equation
y = 4.5 + 0.977*x
where y is height and x is arm span.
Mike is 172 cm tall, so his arm span is:
172cm = 4.5 + 0.977*x
x = (172 - 4.5)/0.977 = 171.443 cm
and George is 165 cm tall, so his arm span is:
x = (165 - 4.5)/0.977 = 164.278 cm
Then the difference between their arm span is:
171.443cm - 164.278cm = 7.165 cm
So Mike's arm span is 7.165 cm longer than the George's one.
X should equal 100. Hope this helps :)
Substitute the given values for the parameters in the point-slope form of the equation of a line. That form is
y - k = m(x - h)
for point (h, k) and slope m.
You have (h, k) = (1, 2) and m=-3, so your equation is
y - 2 = -3(x - 1)
