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?

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.

The Richter scale measures the intensity of earthquakes on a logarithmic scale. The magnitude of an earthquake on the Richter sc
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Japan : E=2.8183829313\times 10^{18}

California : E=2.8183829313\times 10^{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of an earthquake on the Richter scale can be defined by

M=\frac{2}{3}\log (E)-3.2

where E is the energy of the quake in joules.

Add 3.2 on both sides.

M+3.2=\frac{2}{3}\log (E)

Multiply both sides by 3/2.

\frac{3}{2}(M+3.2)=\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}\log (E)

1.5M+4.8=\log (E)

10^{1.5M+4.8}=E               [\because \log x=a\Rightarrow x=10^a]

E=10^{1.5M+4.8}           .... (1)

It is given that the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan measured 9.1 on the Richter scale.

Substitute M=9.1 in equation (1).

E=10^{1.5(9.1)+4.8}

E=10^{18.45}

E=2.8183829313\times 10^{18}

Therefore, the energy released by earthquake in japan is E=2.8183829313\times 10^{18}.

It is given that the 1999 Hector Mine earthquake in eastern California had a magnitude of 7.1.

Substitute M=7.1 in equation (1).

E=10^{1.5(7.1)+4.8}

E=10^{15.45}

E=2.8183829313\times 10^{15}

Therefore, the energy released by earthquake in California is E=2.8183829313\times 10^{15}.

A toy has various shaped objects that a child is supposed to push through matching holes. The area of the square hole is 5 cm2.
Papessa [141]

To answer this, let's first describe the two areas and obtain the pertinent dimensions from them.

The area of the square hole is 5 cm^2.  Since A = s^2, where s is the length of a side of the square, s = +√5 in this situation.  +√5 is approx. 2.24 cm.

The area of the round peg is 5 cm^2 also, but the area is calculated using a different formula:  A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.  Solving for r^2, we get:

                 r^2 = A/π.   Here, r^2 = (5 cm^2)/π = 5π, so that:

r = +√(5π).  This is approx. 3.96 cm, and so the diameter is twice that, or 7.93 cm.

So there's plenty of room for the round peg to enter the square hole, but not the other way around!

What are prime numbers
Anika [276]
Prime numbers are those numbers which cannot be divided evenly by any number other than 1 and itself.

For example, 12 is not a prime number, because it can be divided evenly by numbers other than 1 and 12 (namely, 2, 3, 4, and 6).

On the other hand, 13 IS a prime number, because it can only be divided by 1 and 13 evenly.

Just as a sidenote, numbers that are not prime numbers are called 'composite numbers'.

Hope that helped =)

If the equation y=mx+b is used to model a quantity y as a function of the quantity x, why is b considered to be the starting val
blagie [28]

Answer:

This is because even when the quality of the variable x is 0, the value of b still exists and is the starting point for y.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove this, we start with the base form of the equation and input 0 for x.

y = mx + b

y = m(0) + b

y = 0 + b

y = b
