This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An owner of a home in the Midwest installed solar panels to reduce heating costs. After installing the solar panels, he measured the amount of natural gas used  y (in cubic feet) to heat the home and outside temperature x (in degree-days, where a day's degree-days are the number of degrees its average temperature falls below 65oF) over a 23-month period.

He then computed the least-squares regression line for predicting y from x and found it to be:   y^=80+16x.  

How much, on average, does gas used increase for each additional degree-day?

Answer : ______ cubic feet.

(Give your answer as a whole number.)

Answer:

Amount of natural gas used increased by 19 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let the dependent variable y be the amount of natural gas used ( ft³ )

Also let an independent variable x be be the degree days temperature ( in °F)

So the least squares regression equation is;

y^{bar} = 80 + 16x

or

amount_of_natural_gas_used = 80 + 16(degree_days_temperature

Th slope or the standardized regression coefficient of the given regression equation is;

b₁ = 16

the slope coefficient b₁ = 16 is tells us that for each additional one-degree days temperature, an amount of natural gas used increased by 19 cubic feet.

Therefore, amount of natural gas used increased by 19 cubic feet.

Three times the square of a certain positive number exceeds six times the number by nine. find the number:
d1i1m1o1n [39]
With the number being x, we have 3x^2>6(x/9). Expanding, we get 3x^2>6x/9 and 3x^2>2x/3. Dividing by x, we get 3x>2/3 and dividing by 3 we get x>2/9

The graph shows the dilation of quadrilateral MNOP with the origin as its center. Which rule describes this transformation?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

D) (x, y) → (1/3x , 1/3 y)

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a change of size, if the dilation factor is greater than 1, then the figure is enlarged.  If the dilation factor is smaller than 1, the figure is shrinked.  In both cases, the coordinates are MULTIPLIED by the dilation factor.

Among the 4 choices, only 2 are dilations.  One is with a dilation factor of 3 (A), which means the shape was enlarged.  And the other is with  dilation factor of 1/3, meaning the shape was shrinked.

Since we went from MNOP (LARGE one) to M'N'O'P' (small one), the dilation factor was < 1... so 1/3 is the answer.

Answers B and  C show a translation/movement of the shape, not a dilation.
