Answer:

Diagnostic

Step-by-step explanation:

The teacher made a diagnostic decision relative to Roberts skill level. Before she made this decision, she first started with the process of evaluation to know his strength and also establish his weakness. With the knowledge she has gotten she now plans to him with meaningful learning and an efficient curriculum that would help him in mastering multiplication first before division.

An isosceles trapezoid ABCD with height 2 units has all its vertices on the parabola y=a(x+1)(x−5). What is the value of a, if p

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a = -0.3575

Step-by-step explanation:

The points A and D lie on the x-axis, this means that they are the x-intercepts of the parabola, and therefore we can find their location.

The points A and B are located where

$y=a(x+1)(x-5)=0$

This gives

$x=-1$

$y=5$

Now given the coordinates of A, we are in position to find the coordinates of the point B. Point B must have y coordinate of y=2 (because the base of the trapezoid is at y=0), and the x coordinate of B, looking at the figure, must be x coordinate of A plus horizontal distance between A and B, i.e

$B_x=A_x+\frac{2}{tan(60)} =-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}$

Thus the coordinates of B are:

$B=(-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3},2)$

Now this point B lies on the parabola, and therefore it must satisfy the equation $y=a(x+1)(x-5).$

Thus

$2=a((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})+1)((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})-5)$

Therefore

$a=\frac{2}{((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})+1)((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})-5)}$

$\boxed{a=-0.3575}$

Suppose that you are asked if there would be a strong or weak correlation between the number of people shopping in malls and the

solong [7]

There could be a strong correlation between the proximity of the holiday season and the number of people who buy in the shopping centers.

It is known that when there are vacations people tend to frequent shopping centers more often than when they are busy with work or school.

Therefore, the proximity in the holiday season is related to the increase in the number of people who buy in the shopping centers.

This means that there is a strong correlation between both variables, since when one increases the other also does. This type of correlation is called positive. When, on the contrary, the increase of one variable causes the decrease of another variable, it is said that there is a negative correlation.

There are several coefficients that measure the degree of correlation (strong or weak), adapted to the nature of the data. The best known is the 'r' coefficient of Pearson correlation

A correlation is strong when the change in a variable x produces a significant change in a variable 'y'. In this case, the correlation coefficient r approaches | 1 |.

When the correlation between two variables is weak, the change of one causes a very slight and difficult to perceive change in the other variable. In this case, the correlation coefficient approaches zero
