bearing in mind that standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient
Answer: 19.42
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance, we need to use the distance formula.
With the given points, we can plug them in and solve.
[parenthesis]
[exponent]
[add]
[square root]
Now, we know the distance is 19.42.
Answers:
- The lengths of sides PQ and RS are <u> 13 </u>
- The lengths of sides QR and SP are <u> </u><u>20 </u>
This is a 13 by 20 rectangle.
============================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the drawing below.
Let x be the length of side SP. Since we're dealing with a rectangle, the opposite side is the same length. Side QR is also x units long.
We're told that RS = SP - 7 which is the same as saying RS = x-7
We also know that PQ = x-7 as well because PQ is opposite side RS.
In short, we have these four sides in terms of x
- PQ = x-7
- QR = x
- RS = x-7
- SP = x
as shown in the drawing. The four sides add up to the perimeter of 66.
PQ+QR+RS+SP = perimeter
PQ+QR+RS+SP = 66
(x-7)+x+(x-7)+x = 66
4x-14 = 66
4x = 66+14
4x = 80
x = 80/4
x = 20
Use this x value to find the unknown side lengths.
- PQ = x-7 = 20-7 = 13
- QR = x = 20
- RS = x-7 = 20-7 = 13
- SP = x = 20
In short, this is a 13 by 20 rectangle.
-----------------
Check:
perimeter = side1+side2+side3+side4
perimeter = PQ+QR+RS+SP
perimeter = 13+20+13+20
perimeter = 33+33
perimeter = 66
The answer is confirmed.
PART A:
The data is plotted in the graph below. The line best fit is drawn to show the trend of the data. Since the plots form a cluster that follows the line best fit and there are no outliers, the most likely coefficient is 0.94 which is a strong positive correlation.
PART B:
The value of slope between x = 5 and x = 10 is
Slope = (3-1) ÷ (10-5) = 2/5
The slope represents the rate of change of the radius, which is 2/5 for every 5 days
PART C:
The data in the table represents correlation, that the algae grow longer as the days increase. It might not be necessary a causation because the growth of algae doesn't necessarily depend on the number of days.
1. 40/8 = 45/9
2. 42/14 = 15/5
3. 14/2 = 56/8
4. 8/4 = 26/13
