Given that y is the number of people in the line after 5 am and there are already 3 hours that have passed for 8 am, we substitute 3 to the equation to find the answer.
                        y = (-5.131)(3²) + 31.821(3) - 3.333
Simplifying,
                         y = 45.951
Thus, the answer is letter C. 46.

Which is the best estimate for the average rate of change for the quadratic function graph on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 4?
den301095 [7]
ANSWER

A) -1

EXPLANATION

The average rate of change of the given quadratic function on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤4 is the slope of the secant line connecting the points (0,f(0)) and (4,f(4)).

That is the average rate of change is:

= \frac{f(4) - f(0)}{4 - 0}

From the graph, f(0) is 0 and f(4) is -4.

We plug in these values to obtain;

= \frac{ - 4 - 0}{4 - 0}

This simplifies to;

= \frac{ - 4}{4}

= - 1

Hence the average rate of change for the given quadratic function whose graph is shown on 0≤x≤4 is -1

Kaitlyn creates an architectural blueprint of a rectangular dining room.The area of the actual dining room is 900 times as large
8090 [49]
We need to make a scale between blueprint and actual size. The trick in this question is to understand that the scale for the areas and the scale for the lengths are different.
Scale for area is given in the question as
1 unit on blueprint = 900 units in actual.
As the dining room is given to be rectangular we can find the scale for lengths by taking square root of scale for area.

√1 unit on blueprint = √900 units in actual
Therefore, scale for length= 1:30

Thus, by using the scale we can calculate actual length corresponding to 4 inches on blueprint by multiplying 4 with scale
4 inches×1/30=120inches

Answer = 120 inches
