Answer:

927 ft

914 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths are half the sum plus or minus half the difference:

1841/2 ± 13/2 = {1854/2, 1828/2} = {927, 914} . . . feet

Let x represent the shorter length. Then x+13 is the longer length. Their total is ..

x +(x +13) = 1841

2x = 1841 -13

x = (1841 -13)/2 . . . . half the sum minus half the difference

Then the longer length is ...

x+13 = (1841/2) -(13/2) +13

x +13 = (1841/2) +(13/2) . . . . half the sum plus half the difference

Answer:

$304.63

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, the total cost can be calculated by multiplying the price of each item for the amount purchased and adding up the results:

Total cost=($87.98*2)+($14.57*3)+($21.24*4)

Total cost=$175.96+$43.71+$84.96

Total cost= $304.63

According to this, the answer is that their total cost is $304.63.

Can you use any two of the given data points in a scatter plot to write an equation for a trend line? Explain.

poizon [28]

Answer:

Use graph paper to create a scatter plot. Draw the x- and y- axes, ensure they intersect and label the origin. Ensure that the x- and y- axes also have correct titles. Next, plot each data point within the graph. Any trends between the plotted data sets should now be evident.

Create the linear equation from the points (3,3) and (1,-5).

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

$-4x + y = -9\:or\:y = 4x - 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the rate of change [slope]:

$\displaystyle \frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m \\ \\ \frac{-3 - 5}{-3 + 1} = \frac{-8}{-2} = 4$

Then, plug these coordinates into the Slope-Intercept Formula instead of the Point-Slope Formula because you get it done much swiftly that way. It does not matter which ordered pair you choose::

−5 = 4 + b

$\displaystyle -9 = b \\ \\ y = 4x - 9$

If you want it in Standard Form:

y = 4x - 9

- 4x - 4x

_________

$\displaystyle -4x + y = -9$

_______________________________________________

3 = 4[3] + b

$\displaystyle -9 = b \\ \\ y = 4x - 9$

y = 4x - 9

- 4x - 4x

_________

$\displaystyle -4x + y = -9$

** You see? I told you it did not matter which ordered pair you choose because you will ALWAYS get the exact same result.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
