For the past ten years, Michelle has been tracking the average annual rainfall in Boynton Beach, Florida by recording her data i

n the given table. She has concluded that the relationship can be modeled by a linear function.
Year 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Average Rainfall(in inches) 62.33 61.8 61.27 60.74 60.21 59.68 59.15 58.62 58.09 57.56
Use the values provided in the table to create a linear graph of the data. On the graph, let x = 0 represent the year 2004. Be sure to include all proper labels on the graph.

Answer:
55.44 inches
Step-By-Step Explanation
part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.
slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)
= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53
then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as
y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)
y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004
part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is
y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches
the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 inches.

Which is an equivalent expression for 21a+35?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

7(3a + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite 21 as 7 · 3

Rewrite 35 as  7 · 5

Therefore,

⇒ 21a + 35 = 7 · 3a + 7 · 5

Factor out common term 7:

⇒ 7 · 3a + 7 · 5 = 7(3a + 5)

HELP PLEASE <br><br>must show work <br><br>I have the answer just need to show work​
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these equations involving variables and exponents we need to follow these steps.

1) We need to find out the factor that is common in the equation.

2) After taking common, solve the equation. We can add or subtract only those values that have same bases.

1) 8+6x^4

here we can see, both numbers are divisible by 2, so taking 2 common

=2(8/2 + 6x^4/2)\\= 2(4 + 3x^4)

It cannot be further simplified because both number donot have same bases.

3.4n^9 + 12 n

We can take 4n common

=4n(4n^9/4n + 12 n/4n)\\=4n(n^8 + 3)

5. -12a -3

Here -3 cam be taken common

= -3(-12a/-3 -3/-3)

= -3(4a +1)

7. 12n^5 + 16n^3

here the smallest power of n is n^3 so, we can take n^3 common and both coefficients are divisible by 4 so taking 4n^3 common

4n^3( 3n^2 + 4)

9. 5k^2 - 40k+10

Here we cannot take k common, as k is not a multiple of 10. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by 5 so, taking 5 common

=5(k^2 - 8k + 2)

11.-60 + 60n^2 +50n^3

Here we cannot take n common, as n is not a multiple of -60. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by 10 so, taking 10 common

=10(-6 + 6n^2 +5n^3)

13. -36n^3 -12n-28

Here we cannot take n common, as n is not a multiple of 28. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by -4 so, taking -4 common

=-4(9n^3 + 3n +7)

15. 63n^3+81n+18

Here we cannot take n common, as n is not a multiple of 18. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by 9 so, taking 9 common

=9(7n^3 + 9n + 2)

17. -24a^2b^2 + 36ab-60a

=6a(-4ab^2+6b-10)
