An experiment was conducted that recorded the weight of a new bar of soap after each use. The line of best fit for the data coll

ected is
y = -5.6x + 123, where y is the weight of the bar of soap, in grams, and x is the number of times that the bar was used.
Which statement describes the meaning of the y-intercept for the line of best fit equation?

Answer:

The initial weight of the bar soap is 123g

Step-by-step explanation:

No options but the question can still be solved.

Given

y = -5.6x + 123

Required

What does the y intercept mean

Start by calculating the y intercept (i.e. when x = 0)

The equation becomes

y = -5.6*0 + 123

y = 0 + 123

y = 123

This means that the initial weight of the bar soap is 123g

Answer:

  80 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The carpet area will be the area of the pentagon less the 25 square feet taken up by the tree. The area of the pentagon is found by putting the given numbers into the given formula.

  pentagon area = 5((7 ft)(6 ft))/2 = 105 ft²

  carpet area = 105 ft² -25 ft² = 80 ft²

Peter will need 80 square feet of carpet.

Answer: The area of the enclosure is 1,029 square meters

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing is to use the unit of measurement required by the question, and to do this we need to convert what we have to what is required.

If the scale of the diagram is given as every 4cm represents 7m, that means, every unit of the actual measurement would be given as

(X/4) x 7

For the length of the enclosure, we can determine that as follows;

Length = (28/4) x 7

Length = 7 x 7

Length = 49m

And for the width,

Width = (12/4) x 7

Width = 3 x 7

Width = 21m

Therefore, the area is calculated as,

Area = L x W

Area = 49 x 21

Area = 1029 m²

Solve for x 14 x square+7x-6
irina [24]

Answer:

x=0.450765 or x=−0.950765

Step-by-step explanation:

14x² + 7x - 6

→ Find the product, sum and factors

Product = -6

Sum = 7

Factors = No factors

→ Since there are no factors utilise the quadratic formula

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

→ List the values of a, b and c

a = 14

b = 7

c= -6

→ Substitute into the formula

\frac{-7+-\sqrt{7^{2}-4*14*-6} }{2*14}

→ Simplify

x=0.450765 or x=−0.950765
