Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:30/2= 15
Pull out the highest power of
from each radical expression, then divide through the numerator and denominator by the largest power of
overall.
The largest power in the cube root is
; the largest power in the fourth root is
:
Now the largest power in the numerator and denominator is
, so we get
Every term containing
approaches 0 as
, which leaves us with
We can solve this problem by rule of 3:
$30 (taxes)------------$100
x-----------------------$3,680
x=($30*$3,680) / $100=$1,104
Answer: $1,104 paid in taxes.
Answer: There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the prediction given by the trend line produced by the regression calculator probably is not valid that far in the future.
Step-by-step explanation:
Years since tree was planted (x) - - - - height (y)
2 - - - - 17
3 - - - - 25
5 - - - 42
6 - - - - 47
7 - - - 54
9 - - - 69
Using a regression calculator :
The height of tree can be modeled by the equation : ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08
With y being the predicted variable; 7.36 being the slope and 3.08 as the intercept.
X is the independent variable which is used in calculating the value of y.
Predicted height when years since tree was planted(x) = 100
ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08
ŷ = 7.36(100) + 3.08
y = 736 + 3.08
y = 739.08
Forward prediction of 100 years produced by the trendline would probably give an invalid value because the trendline only models a range of 9 years prediction. However, a linear regression equation isn't the best for making prediction that far in into the future.
For a, we have 42in/9ft. Since 12 inches are in 1 foot, we can multiply it by that to get (42in/9ft)*(1ft/12inches) = 42/108. We put the foot on the top of 1ft/12in to cancel them out. Since 2 goes into both 42 and 108, we divide it by 2/2 to get 26/54. Repeating the process again, we get 13/27
If we were to say that there are 12 inches in a foot and therefore divide 42 by 12 (to get 42 inches in feet), we'd get the same answer due to that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches and if you were to divide it by 1 foot/12 inches, since they are the same thing, you get the same answer
For c, since it may be hard to get (42/12)/9, it could just be easier to have 42/(9*12)=42/108
