Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All other equations have x or y to the power of one so they are linear. D. has x or y to the power of two, so it's not linear. Quadratics and any variable to the power of 2 and above is not linear (numbers on their own are also always linear, so ignore any powers on them)

Sebastian got estimates from 7 companies for his kitchen remodel: $ 27,500 ; $31,000 ; $36,000 ; $92, 000; $29,000 ; $30,500 ; $

We have been given that Sebastian got estimates from 7 companies for his kitchen remodel: $ 27,500 ; $31,000 ; $36,000 ; $92,000; $29,000 ; $30,500 ; $28,500. We are asked to find the best measure of center for the given data.

We can see that our given data set has a large valued data point that is $92,000.

We know that mean is very much affected by large valued outliers. The data point $92,000 will increase the mean. Therefore, mean is not a best measure of center for given data.

We know that median is very less affected by outliers, therefore, median will be best measure of center for the given data.

What is the area of this composite shape?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

<h3>Answer: 51 square inches</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

There are a few ways to do this. One way is to divide the figure as shown in the diagram below. I divided it into a rectangle and a triangle. Find the area of the rectangle and triangle, then add up those areas to get the final answer.

A = area of rectangle

A = length*width

A = 7*6

A = 42

B = area of triangle

B = 0.5*base*height

B = 0.5*(6-3)*(13-7)

B = 0.5*3*6

B = 1.5*6

B = 9

C = total area

C = A+B

C = 42+9

C = 51 square inches

Artemon [7]

Answer: 2500 years

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this right myself but I'll give it a shot.

We use this formula to find half-life but we can just plug in the numbers we know to find t.

$A(t)=A_{0}(1/2)^t^/^h$

We know half-life is 5730 years and that the parchment has retained 74% of its Carbon-14. For $A_{0$ let's just assume that there are 100 original atoms of Carbon-14 and for A(t) let's assume there are 74 Carbon-14 atoms AFTER the amount of time has passed. That way, 74% of the C-14 still remains as 74/100 is 74%. Not quite sure how to explain it but I hope you get it. h is the last variable we need to know and it's just the half-life, which has been given to us already, 5730 years, so now we have this.

$74=100(1/2)^t^/^5^7^3^0$

Now, solve. First, divide by 100.

$0.74=(0.5)^t^/^5^7^3^0$

Take the log of everything

$log(0.74)=\frac{t}{5730} log(0.5)$

Divide the entire equation by log (0.5) and multiply the entire equation by 5730 to isolate the t and get

$5730\frac{log(0.74)}{log(0.5)} =t$

Use your calculator to solve that giant mess for t and you'll get that t is roughly 2489.128182 years. Round that to the nearest hundred years, and you'll find the hopefully correct answer is 2500 years.

Really hope that all the equations that I wrote came out good and that that's right, this is definitely the longest answer I've ever written.
