Savannah decides to research the relationship between the length in inches and the
weight of a certain species of catfish. She measures the length and weight of a number
of specimens she catches, then throws back into the water. After plotting all her data,
she draws a line of best fit. Based on the line of best fit, what would you predict to be
the length of a catfish that weighed 36 pounds?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the line of best fit, it is found that the predicted length of a catfish that weighed 36 pounds is of 36 inches.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, the line passes through points (20,4) and (29,22), hence the slope is given by:

m = (22 - 4)/(29 - 20) = 2.

Then:

y = 2x + b.

Point (20,4) is replaced in the equation and used to find b, hence:

4 = 2(20) + b

b = -36

Then the equation is given by:

y = 2x - 36.

When the weight is of 36 pounds, x = 36, hence the prediction is of:

y = 2(36) - 36 = 36 inches.

Which values are the solutions to the polynomial equation?
0 = x2 – 18x + 65

Answers

Answer:

If the question is [tex]2x^{2} -18x+65[/tex] then the answer is no real solution. If the question is 2x - 18x + 65 than the answer is -16x+65

Answer:

x = 13, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 18x + 65 = 0

step 1: multiply (1) and (65) together

step 2: find two negative numbers to add together to equal -18 but multiply together to equal 65.

step 3: since there isn't a number in front of x² you could:

(x - 13) (x - 5)

x - 13 = 0           x - 5 = 0

   +13  +13            +5   +5

x = 13                      x = 5

or

(x² - 13x) (-5x + 65)

x(x - 13) -5 (x - 13)

(x - 13) (x - 5)

x - 13 = 0      x - 5 = 0

  +13   +13       +5   +5

x = 13, 5

How do you find the answer for surface area?

Answers

Answer:

720 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the prism is the sum of the areas of its 5 surfaces.

Area of triangle= ½ ×base ×height

Area of front face

= ½(6)(8)

= 24 m²

Area of back face= 24 m²

Area of rectangle= length ×breadth

Area of base

= 8(28)

= 224 m²

Area of right surface

= 10(28)

= 280 m²

Area of left surface

= 6(28)

= 168 m²

Total surface area

= 24 +24 +224 +280 +168

= 720

An art gallery wants to display 4 pieces of art in the front window. If there are 8 pieces to choose from, how many distinct displays are
possible?
A. 40,320
B. 10,080
OC. 1,680
D. 70

Answers

Answer: 70

Step-by-step explanation:

you would do 8C4

If there are 8 pieces to choose from, there are 1,680 different ways distinct displays are possible.

How many ways k things out of m different things (m ≥ k) can be chosen if order of the chosen things doesn't matter?

[tex]^mP_k = k! \times ^mC_k = k! \times \dfrac{m!}{k! \times (m-k)!} = \dfrac{m!}{ (m-k)!}\\\\^mP_k = \dfrac{m!}{ (m-k)!}[/tex]

This is called permutation of k items chosen out of m items (all distinct).

To find the Ways can 8 pieces of art in the front window be arranged in the display window.

Let us use permutation to find the number of ways can 8 pieces of art in the front window be arranged in the display window.

here we have

n= 8

r= 4

substituting the values,

[tex]^nC_r = \dfrac{n!}{ (n-r)!}\\\\^8C_4 = \dfrac{8!}{ (8-4)!}\\\\^8C_4 = \dfrac{8!}{ (4)!}\\\\^8C_4 = 8 \times 7 \times 6\times 5\\\\^8C_4 =1680[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]y =\dfrac{12}{5}x + 22[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of line:

First find the slope of the line AB. ie, m

Slope of the perpendicular line = -1/m

(2 , 3)  ⇒ x₁ = 2 & y₁ = 3  

(-10, 8)  ⇒ x₂ = -10 & y₂ = 8

[tex]\boxed{Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf slope \ of \ the \ perpendicular \ line \ m_1 = \dfrac{-1}{m}= -1 \ \div \dfrac{-5}{12}[/tex]

                                                   [tex]\sf = -1 * \dfrac{12}{-5}=\dfrac{12}{5}[/tex]

Equation of the required line: y = mx + b

       [tex]y =\dfrac{12}{5}x+b[/tex]

The line passes through (-5 , 10). Substitute in the above equaiton,

         [tex]10 =\dfrac{12}{5}*(-5) + b\\\\ 10 = (-12) + b\\\\[/tex]

 10 + 12 = b
