The best fit line is given by the equation y = 0.404x - 5.18, where y represents the height of the plant above ground level, and

x represents the number of days since it was planted.
What is the slope of the best fit line? What does the slope of the line mean in this situation? Is it reasonable?

IRISSAK [1]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The line of best fit given:</u>

  • y = 0.404x - 5.18

<u>It is given in the slope-intercept form:</u>

  • y = mx + b, where m- slope, b - y-intercept

The slope is this situation is m = 0.404 cm and it represents the average growth rate of the plant in one day.

It seems reasonable but without means of control it is difficult to trace the growth while still under the ground, during the first 13-14 days.

According to the rational root theorem, which is a factor of the polynomial f(x)=3x^3-5x^2-12x+20?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

(x-2), (x+2), (3x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 3: ±1, ±3

Factors of 20: ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20

Possible factors of the polynomial: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20, .... (there's a lot more but you probably do not need to list them all)

Pick a number to divide the polynomial by (I picked 2)

(3x³-5x²-12x+20)÷(x-2) = 3x²+x-10

So (x-2) is a factor of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

Factor 3x²+x-10 = (3x-5)(x-2) these are the other factors of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

Landen spent LL hours at the beach last weekend. Matéo spent 15\%15% fewer hours at the beach than Landen did. Which of the foll
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:   0.85 L or \frac{85L}{100}  or \frac{17L}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

Landen spent time at the beach last weekend = L hours

And, Matéo spent 15% fewer hours at the beach than Landen did.

Therefore, Number of hours spent by  Matéo = (Time spent by Landen last week - 15 % of the Time spent by Landen last week ) hours

=  85% of the Time spent by Landen last week

= \frac{85\times L}{100}

= \frac{85L}{100}  Hours

= \frac{17L}{20}  Hours

=  0.85 L Hours

pav-90 [236]

Answer:
