Answer:

Option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data set is,

{(1.5, 1), (2.5, 3), (3, 3), (3, 5), (3.5, 5), (4.5, 7), (5, 7), (5, 9), (5.5, 9), (6.5, 11), (7.5, 13)}

By using linear regression calculator,

Equation of the linear function will be,

y = 2x - 2

Therefore, Option 3 will be the correct option.

Pam has 90 m of fencing to enclose an area in a petting zoo with two dividers to separate three types of young animals. The thre

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The area function is

$A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2$ .

The domain and range of A is $(0,15m)$ and $(0, 253.125 m^2]$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of fencing is $90 m$ .

Let the length and width of each pen be $x$ and $y$ respectively as shown in the figure.

As there are 3 pens, so, the total area,

$A= 3 xy \;\cdots (i)$

From the figure the total length of fencing is $6x+4y$ .

Here, for a significant area for the animals, $x>0$ as well as $y>0$ as $x$ and $y$ are the sides of ben.

From the given value:

$6x+4y=90\;\cdots (ii)$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}$

Now, from equation (i)

$A=3x\left(\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}\right)$

$\Rightarrow A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2\;\cdots (iii)$

This is the required area function in the terms of variable $x$ .

For the domain of area function, from equation (ii)

$x=15-\frac{2y}{3}$

$\Rightarrow x$ [as y>0]

So, the domain of area function is $(0,15m)$ .

For the range of area function:

As $x \rightarrow 0$ or $y\rightarrow 0$ , then $A\rightarrow 0$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow A>0$

Now, differentiate the area function with respect to $x$ .

$\frac {dA}{dx}=\frac{135}{2}-9x$

Equate $\frac {dA}{dx}$ to zero to get the extremum point.

$\frac {dA}{dx}=0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{135}{2}-9x=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{2}$

Check this point by double differentiation

$\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}=-9$

As, $\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}$ , so, point $x=\frac{15}{2}$ is corresponding to maxima.

Put this value back to equation (iii) to get the maximum value of area function. We have

$A=\frac{135}{2}\times \frac {15}{2}-\frac{9}{2}\times \left(\frac {15}{2}\right)^2$

$\Rightarrow A=253.125 m^2$

Hence, the range of area function is $(0, 253.125 m^2]$ .

If a designer sold 2,000 units of a dress with total sales of $190,000, what was the average price of the garment?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$95

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide 190,000 by 2,000, since we're assuming they all cost the same. This gets us to our answer, 95. Therefore, each garment cost $95 on average.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you ask questions while their speaking it shows that you are paying attention to them. Avoiding eye contact could mean your thinking about something else or you aren't interested. Interrupting them is just being disrespectful. Leaning towards them doesn't really do anything other than you moving.

I think its 1000 numbers because there from 1 to 999 there are 999 numbers, and then you add zero because it is also a whole number.
