Using <u>linear function concepts</u>, it is found that the correct option is:

The amount of calories in a cheeseburger increases by 1.42 for every one gram of fat. The calorie amount estimated by this model is 121 if there are zero grams of fat.

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which represents by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

  • The explanatory variable fat is the input.
  • The response variable calories is the output.

The equation is:

y = 121 + 1.42x

  • The slope is of 1.42, which means that the amount of calories increases by 1.42 when the amount of fat increases by 1 gram.
  • The y-intercept is of 121, which means that if there are 0 grams of fat, there will be 121 calories.

Thus, the correct option is:

The amount of calories in a cheeseburger increases by 1.42 for every one gram of fat. The calorie amount estimated by this model is 121 if there are zero grams of fat.

3 + 11 . (8 - 4) ÷ (5 + 6) - 4
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 11 ⋅ ( 8 − 4 ) ÷ ( 5 + 6 ) − 4

 Subtract  4  from  8 .

3 + 11 ⋅ 4 ÷ ( 5 + 6 ) − 4

Multiply  11  by  4 .

3 + 44 ÷ ( 5 + 6 ) − 4

Find the common denominator.  

Add  5  and  6 .

3 + 44 ÷ 11 − 4

Write  3  as a fraction with denominator  1 .

3/ 1 + 44 ÷ 11 − 4

Multiply  3/ 1  by  11/ 11 .

3/ 1 ⋅ 11 /11 + 44 ÷ 11 − 4

Multiply  3/ 1  and  11 /11 .

3 ⋅ 11 /11 + 44 ÷ 11 − 4

Write  − 4  as a fraction with denominator  1 .

3 ⋅ 11 /11 + 44 ÷ 11 +  − 4 /1

Multiply  − 4 /1  by  11 /11 .

3 ⋅ 11 /11 + 44 ÷ 11 + − 4 /1  ⋅ 11 /11

Multiply  

− 4 /1  and  11 /11 .

3 ⋅ 11 /11 + 44 ÷ 11 +   − 4 ⋅ 11 /11

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

3 ⋅ 11 + 44 − 4 ⋅ 11 /11

Simplify each term.  

Multiply  3  by  11 .

33 + 44 − 44 ⋅ 11/ 11

Multiply  − 4  by  11 .

33 + 44 − 44 /11

Simplify the expression.  

Add  33  and  44 .

77 − 44/ 11

Subtract  44  from  77 .

33 /11

Divide  33 by  11 .
