Answer:

E. 1 cm to 200 Km

F. 1 in to 100 mi

G. 1 cm to 1,000 Km

Step-by-step explanation:

Verify each case

case A) 1 in to 1 mi

In this part the scale is equal to

\frac{1}{1}\frac{in}{mi}

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to the model dimensions on a map and compare with the dimensions of the page of the book

By proportion

\frac{1}{1}\frac{in}{mi}=\frac{x}{210}\frac{in}{mi}\\ \\x=210\ in

\frac{1}{1}\frac{in}{mi}=\frac{x}{410}\frac{in}{mi}\\ \\x=410\ in

The dimensions of Kansas on a map is greater than the dimensions of the page

therefore

case A) is not the solution

case B) 1 cm to 1 Km

In this part the scale is equal to

\frac{1}{1}\frac{cm}{Km}

Convert the dimensions of the book to cm

1\ in=2.54\ cm

so

5\ in=5*2.54=12.70\ cm

8\ in=8*2.54=20.32\ cm

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to Km

1\ mi=1.609344\ Km

so

210\ mi=210*1.609344=337.96\ Km

410\ mi=410*1.609344=659.83\ Km

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to the model dimensions on a map and compare with the dimensions of the page of the book

By proportion

\frac{1}{1}\frac{cm}{km}=\frac{x}{337.96}\frac{cm}{km}\\ \\x=337.96\ cm

\frac{1}{1}\frac{cm}{km}=\frac{x}{659.83}\frac{cm}{km}\\ \\x=659.83\ cm

The dimensions of Kansas on a map is greater than the dimensions of the page

therefore

case B) is not the solution

case C) 1 in to 10 mi  

In this part the scale is equal to

\frac{1}{10}\frac{in}{mi}

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to the model dimensions on a map and compare with the dimensions of the page of the book

By proportion

\frac{1}{10}\frac{in}{mi}=\frac{x}{210}\frac{in}{mi}\\ \\x=210/10=21\ in

\frac{1}{10}\frac{in}{mi}=\frac{x}{410}\frac{in}{mi}\\ \\x=410/10=41\ in

The dimensions of Kansas on a map is greater than the dimensions of the page

therefore

case C) is not the solution

case D) 1 ft to 100 mi

In this part the scale is equal to

\frac{1}{100}\frac{ft}{mi}

Convert the dimensions of the book to ft

1\ ft=12\ in

so

5\ in=5/12=0.42\ ft

8\ in=8/12=0.67\ ft

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to the model dimensions on a map and compare with the dimensions of the page of the book

By proportion

\frac{1}{100}\frac{ft}{mi}=\frac{x}{210}\frac{ft}{mi}\\ \\x=210/100=2.1\ ft

\frac{1}{100}\frac{ft}{mi}=\frac{x}{410}\frac{ft}{mi}\\ \\x=410/100=4.1\ ft

The dimensions of Kansas on a map is greater than the dimensions of the page

therefore

case D) is not the solution

case E) 1 cm to 200 Km

In this part the scale is equal to

\frac{1}{200}\frac{cm}{Km}

Convert the dimensions of the book to cm

1\ in=2.54\ cm

so

5\ in=5*2.54=12.70\ cm

8\ in=8*2.54=20.32\ cm

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to Km

1\ mi=1.609344\ Km

so

210\ mi=210*1.609344=337.96\ Km

410\ mi=410*1.609344=659.83\ Km

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to the model dimensions on a map and compare with the dimensions of the page of the book

By proportion

\frac{1}{200}\frac{cm}{km}=\frac{x}{337.96}\frac{cm}{km}\\ \\x=337.96/200=1.69\ cm

\frac{1}{200}\frac{cm}{km}=\frac{x}{659.83}\frac{cm}{km}\\ \\x=659.83/200=3.30\ cm

The dimensions of Kansas on a map is less than the dimensions of the page

therefore  

case E) could be a scale on the map

case F) 1 in to 100 mi

In this part the scale is equal to

\frac{1}{100}\frac{in}{mi}

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to the model dimensions on a map and compare with the dimensions of the page of the book

By proportion

\frac{1}{100}\frac{in}{mi}=\frac{x}{210}\frac{in}{mi}\\ \\x=210/100=2.1\ in

\frac{1}{100}\frac{in}{mi}=\frac{x}{410}\frac{in}{mi}\\ \\x=410/100=4.1\ in

The dimensions of Kansas on a map is less than the dimensions of the page

therefore

case F) could be a scale on the map

case G) 1 cm to 1,000 Km

In this part the scale is equal to

\frac{1}{1,000}\frac{cm}{Km}

Convert the dimensions of the book to cm

1\ in=2.54\ cm

so

5\ in=5*2.54=12.70\ cm

8\ in=8*2.54=20.32\ cm

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to Km

1\ mi=1.609344\ Km

so

210\ mi=210*1.609344=337.96\ Km

410\ mi=410*1.609344=659.83\ Km

Convert the actual dimensions of Kansas to the model dimensions on a map and compare with the dimensions of the page of the book

By proportion

\frac{1}{1,000}\frac{cm}{km}=\frac{x}{337.96}\frac{cm}{km}\\ \\x=337.96/1,000=0.34\ cm

\frac{1}{1,000}\frac{cm}{km}=\frac{x}{659.83}\frac{cm}{km}\\ \\x=659.83/1,000=0.66\ cm

The dimensions of Kansas on a map is less than the dimensions of the page

therefore

case G) could be a scale on the map

The predicted calories in food items based on grams of fat are represented by the residual plot.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. The pattern is random, indicating a good fit for a linear model

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph that has the residuals (the difference between the value observed and the value expected (regression analysis) on the vertical axis and the variable that is not affected by the other variables (independent variable) on the x or horizontal axis is known as a residual plot

A linear regression model is suited in a situation where the points are dispersed randomly on both sides of the horizontal axis

Therefore, given that the first point is below the horizontal axis and the next point is above the horizontal axis, while the third and the fourth points are below the horizontal axis, the fifth, sixth, and seventh points are above the horizontal axis and the eighth point is below the horizontal axis, the points are random around the horizontal axis, indicating the suitability of a linear regression model.

Write the equation of a possible rational
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The graph has a removable discontinuity at x=-2.5 and asymptoe at x=2, and passes through (6,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational equation is a equation where

\frac{p(x)}{q(x)}

where both are polynomials and q(x) can't equal zero.

1. Discovering asymptotes. We need a asymptote at x=2 so we need a binomial factor of

(x - 2)

in our denomiator.

So right now we have

\frac{p(x)}{(x - 2)}

2. Removable discontinues. This occurs when we have have the same binomial factor in both the numerator and denomiator.

We can model -2.5 as

(2x + 5)

So we have as of right now.

\frac{(2x + 5)}{(x - 2)(2x + 5)}

Now let see if this passes throught point (6,-3).

\frac{(2x + 5)}{(x - 2)(2x + 5)}  = y

\frac{(17)}{68}  =  \frac{1}{4}

So this doesn't pass through -3 so we need another term in the numerator that will make 6,-3 apart of this graph.

If we have a variable r, in the numerator that will make this applicable, we would get

\frac{(2x + 5)r}{(2x + 5)(x - 2)}  =  - 3

Plug in 6 for the x values.

\frac{17r}{4(17)}  =  - 3

\frac{r}{4}  =  - 3

r =  - 12

So our rational equation will be

\frac{ - 12(2x + 5)}{(2x + 5)(x - 2)}

or

\frac{ - 24x - 60}{2 {x}^{2}  + x - 10}

We can prove this by graphing
