How to find and interpret intercept in linear regression.

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:Here's the definition: the intercept (often labeled the constant) is the expected mean value of Y when all X=0. Start with a regression equation with one predictor, X. If X sometimes equals 0, the intercept is simply the expected mean value of Y at that value.

Howard is designing a chair swing ride. The swing ropes are 4 44 meters long, and in full swing they tilt in an angle of 2 3 ∘ 2

Question:

Howard is designing a chair swing ride. The swing ropes are 4 meters long, and in full swing they tilt in an angle of 23°. Howard wants the chairs to be 3.5 meters above the ground in full swing. How tall should the pole of the swing ride be? Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

7.18 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of rope, L = 4 m

Angle = 23°

Height of chair, H= 3.5 m

In this question, we are to asked to find the height of the pole of the swing ride.

Let X represent the height of the pole of the swing ride.

Let's first find the length of pole from the top of the swing ride. Thus, we have:

$cos \theta = \frac{h}{L}$

Substituting figures, we have:

$cos(23) = \frac{h}{4}$

Let's make h subject of the formula.

$h = 4cos(23) = 3.68$

The length of pole from the top of the swing ride is 3.68 meters

To find the height of the pole of the swing ride, we have:

X = h + H

X = 3.68 + 3.5

X = 7.18

Height of the pole of the swing ride is 7.18 meters

I dont really know how to do soh cah toah. please help me find x.

First notice that the triangle with sides $x,y,a$ and the triangle with sides $z,a+b,x$ are similar. This is true because the angle between sides $x,y$ in the smaller triangle is clearly $30^\circ$ , while the angle between sides $y,z$ in the larger triangle is clearly $60^\circ$ . So the triangles are similar with sides $x,y,a$ corresponding to $a+b,z,x$ , respectively.

Now both triangles are $30^\circ-60^\circ-90^\circ$ , which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is $\ell_1$ , then the length of the longer leg is $\ell_2=\sqrt3\ell_1$ and the hypotenuse has length $\ell_3=\sqrt{{\ell_1}^2+{\ell_2}^2}=2\ell_1$ .

Since $x$ is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that $a+b=2x$ , so $a+b=15=2x\implies x=\dfrac{15}2$

Question 4 (2 points)

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

1. sometimes true

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all equal size and length. A square is a quadrilateral with all equal size and length, and all right angles around bus, however, can be a square if it has right angles.

2. always true

A square has to have all equal sides and all right angles, however, a rectangle has to have right angles and opposite sides are equal to each other. So if a square has equal sides, it can be considered a rectangle since both opposite sides are equal

3. sometimes true

A parallelogram is a quad roulette or with parallel and equal opposite sides, and a rectangle has right angles and equal opposite sides, therefore, if the parallelogram has right angles, then it is considered a rectangle

4. always true

A quadrilateral has to have 4 sides and the rectangle has 4 sides there, for it is considered a quadrilateral

5. never true

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral, therefore, it has to have 4 sides, but a hexagon has to have 6 sides, therefore, it is never a hexagon
