Answer:

0.5 < x < 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side of the triangle must be longer than the difference of the other two sides:

x > (8.5 -8.0)

x > 0.5

And it must be shorter than their sum:

x < (8.5 +8.0)

x < 16.5

The third side must be in the range ...

0.5 < x < 16.5

_____

These limits are a direct consequence of the triangle inequality, which requires the sum of the two shortest sides exceed the length of the longest side.

6 + m/4 = 3 (subtract 6 from both sides)
m/4 = -3 (multiply both sides by 4)
m = -12

Can plug in to original equation to check work:
6 - 12/4 = 3
6 - 3 = 3
3 = 3

The answer m = -12 checks out

Arm Span(x) Height(y)

natita [175]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Representation of data

I used Excel to create a scatterplot of the data, draw the line of best fit, and print the regression equation.

2. Line of best fit

(a) Variables

I chose arm span as the dependent variable (y-axis) and height as the independent variable (x-axis).

It seems to me that arm span depends on your height rather than the other way around.

(b) Regression equation

The calculation is easy but tedious, so I asked Excel to do it.

For the equation y = ax + b, the formulas are

$a = \dfrac{\sum y \sum x^{2} - \sum x \sumxy}{n\sum x^{2}- \left (\sum x\right )^{2}}\\\\b = \dfrac{n\sumx y - \sum x \sumxy}{n\sum x^{2}- \left (\sum x\right )^{2}}$

This gave the regression equation:

y = 1.0595x - 4.1524

(c) Interpretation

The line shows how arm span depends on height.

The slope of the line says that arm span increases about 6 % faster than height.

The y-intercept is -4. If your height is zero, your arm length is -4 in (both are impossible).

(d) Residuals

$\begin{array}{cccr}&\textbf{Arm Span} & \textbf{Arm Span}&\\\textbf{Height/in} &\textbf{Actual} & \textbf{Predicted}&\textbf{Residual}\\25 & 19 & 22.3 & -3.3\\40 & 41 & 38.2 & 2.8\\55 & 51 & 54.1 & -3.1\\65 & 67 & 62.6 & 4.4\\ \end{array}$

The residuals appear to be evenly distributed above and below the predicted values.

A graph of all the residuals confirms this observation.

The equation usually predicts arm span to within 4 in.

(e) Predictions

(i) Height of person with 66 in arm span

$\begin{array}{rcl}y& = & 1.0595x - 4.1524\\66 & = & 1.0595x - 4.1524\\70.1524 & = & 1.0595x\\x & = & \dfrac{70.1524}{1.0595}\\\\& = & \textbf{66 in}\\\end{array}\\\text{A person with an arm span of 66 in should have a height of about $\large \boxed{\textbf{66 in}}$}$

(ii) Arm span of 74 in tall person

$\begin{array}{rcl}y& = & 1.0595x - 4.1524\\& = & 1.0595\times74 - 4.1524\\& = & 78.4030 - 4.1524\\& = & \textbf{74 in}\\\end{array}\\\text{ A person who is 74 in tall should have an arm span of $\large \boxed{\textbf{74 in}}$}$
