Hello, there! My name is Alice and I am here to help you today!

The answer is D)

Here are some notes that will help you with the whole lesson!

Earthquake: Sudden or violent shaking of the ground.

Epicenter: The point of the Earth's surface vertically above the focus of an Earthquake.

Focus: The focus is the place inside the Earth's crust where an earthquake originates.

Magnitude: The great size or extent of something.

Seismic wave: An elastic wave in the Earth.

Seismograph: An instrument that measures and records details of the Earthquake.

The Seismograph is used to find the Focus

Plate movement ⇒ Causes stress.

Stress ⇒ Increasing along faults.

Excess stress ⇒ Leads to rock breaking and an earthquake begins.

Earthquakes begin in the Lithosphere, usually 100km below the surface.

• Earthquakes have two centers

• The focus is the area beneath the surface where rocks beneath break under stress. It is the starting point of an Earthquake

• The Epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the focus

Earthquakes are caused by plate movement. And they begin at the focus.

• Waves carry energy as they travel

• The waves produced by an Earthquake are called Seismic waves

        Seismic waves are classified into three categories

                         

                           « P waves (primary) »

• Arrive first, travel fastest

• Compressed and expand the ground like an accordion

• Travel threw solids and liquids

                   

                      « S waves (secondary) »

• Arrive after P waves

• Vibrate from side to side and up and down

• Shake structures violently when they reach the surface

• Travel ONLY threw solids

                     

                             « Surface waves »

• Travel ONLY on the surface

• Were P and S waves move

• Move slowly

• Can produce dramatic ground movement

• May make the ground roll

The Mercalli scale rates an earthquake according to how much damage it causes. And has 12 levels of intensity.

The Mercalli scale rates earthquakes based on the amount of damage they cause.

The Richter scale measures magnitude based on the size of seismic waves.

• Magnitude is determined by measures based on the size of seismic waves.

• Seismic waves are measured by a seismograph

• This scale is good for measuring small, nearby earthquakes

The moment magnitude scale estimates the total energy released by an earthquake.

• Useful for earthquakes of all sizes and distances

• Data collected with seismographs

• Shows what kind of waves were produced and their strength

The Moment of magnitude scale takes into account the movement of rocks along fault lines.

The Sumatra earthquake of 2004 is the third strongest earthquake ever recorded.

• Measured 9.1-9.3 on the Moment magnitude scale

• Measured at the maximum intensity on the Mercalli scale

• Lasted approximately 9 minutes, the longest duration ever measured

• Triggers a massive tsunami and killed  approximately 250,000 people

Geologists use Sisemic waves to locate an earthquake's Epicenter.

• Use Siesmograph  to measure the difference between the arrival of P and S waves

• Compare data to seismographs from around the world

Earthquakes are caused by stress along faults due to plate movement.

«Traveling Of Energy»

• Seismic waves travel in all directions

• Three types of waves:

• P waves (primary)

• S waves (secondary)

• Surface waves

«Measuring Earthquake   Energy»

• Mercalli scale

• Richter scale

• Moment magnitude scale

«Locating The Epicenter»

• Distance of epicenter measured from at least three seismographs

• Location of the epicenter is where three measurements overlap

Have a great day!

The height h and collar size c , both in centimeters, measured from a sample of boys were used to create the regression line cˆ=−94+0.9h . The line is used to predict collar size from height, both in centimeters, for boys’ shirt collars. Which of the following has no logical interpretation in context?

Answers

Answer:

The C=intercept of the regression line

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the regression line has a logical interpretation as the average rate of change in collar size for a 1cm increase in height.

A linear regression is represented as [tex]^\wedge y = mx + c[/tex]

The option that has no logical interpretation is: E The c-intercept of the regression line

From the question, we have:

[tex]^\wedge c = 94 + 0.9h[/tex]

Using the above representation of a regression line [tex]\wedge y = mx + c[/tex]

[tex]m \to[/tex] the slope

[tex]c \to[/tex] the y-intercept

By comparing [tex]\wedge y = mx + c[/tex] to  [tex]^\wedge c = 94 + 0.9h[/tex]

[tex]0.9 \to[/tex] slope

[tex]94 \to[/tex] the y-intercept

While [tex]^ \wedge c[/tex] and [tex]h[/tex] are the variables (i.e. collar size and height)

From the list of given options (see attachment), the option that has no logical interpretation is:

E. The c-intercept of the regression line

This is because c does not represent the intercept of [tex]^\wedge c = 94 + 0.9h[/tex]

#3.) What is the domain and range the C to D part of the roller coaster?

Answers

Let's see what to do buddy....

_________________________________

1) Go...

We have the following equation for finding the slope of the line by using two points :

[tex]slope = m = \frac{y(b) - y(a)}{x(b) - x(a)} \\ [/tex]

Where a and b are the points which the line through them.

We have points C and D here ,

So :

[tex]slope = m = \frac{y(d) - y(c)}{x(d) - x(c)} \\ [/tex]

D = ( 7 , 12 ) and C = ( 0 , 0 )

Now just need to put the coordinates in the above equation :

[tex]slope = m = \frac{12 - 0}{7 - 0} = \frac{12}{7} \\ [/tex]

_________________________________

2) Go...

We have the following equation to find the point-slope form of the linear functions :

[tex]y - y(o) =(slope) \times ( \: x - x(o) \: ) \\ [/tex]

Where o is one of the given points.

So we must choose one of the points ,

I choose : D = ( 7 , 12 )

Then we have :

[tex]y - 12 = \frac{12}{7}(x - 7) \\ [/tex]

It's point-slope form, so we need to simplifies it to find slope-intercept form.

Look:

[tex]y - 12 = \frac{12}{7}x - 12 \\ [/tex]

Both sides plus 12

[tex]y = \frac{12}{7}x \\ [/tex]

Now we have the slope-intercept form of the CD line.

_________________________________

3) Go...

Domain = [ 0 , 7 ]

Range = [ 0 , 12 ]

And we're done.

Please help me figure these problems out with the correct answers the last guy said they were all not triangles and my teacher said they were incorrect who ever answers and explains correctly gets 31 points and gets marked brainliest you have all the time you need so answer wisely. This shouldn't take long don't answer something your not similar with.

Answers

Problem 1

Answer: Yes a triangle can be formed with side lengths 5,5,3

--------------------

Explanation:

Take any two sides and add them up. If we get a sum larger than the third side, then a triangle is possible. This is the triangle inequality theorem.

5+5 = 10 is larger than 3

5+3 = 8 is larger than 5

This shows a triangle is possible. The triangle is isosceles because two sides are the same length.

==========================================================

Problem 2

Answer: Yes a triangle can be formed with side lengths 8,8,8

--------------------

Explanation:

This triangle is equilateral because all sides are the same length.

Take any two sides, add them up, and you'll find the sum is larger than the third side.

==========================================================

Problem 3

Answer: No a triangle cannot be formed with sides 7,8,15

--------------------

Explanation:

Yes it is true that

8+15 = 23 is larger than 7

7+15 = 22 is larger than 8

but

7+8 = 15 is not larger than 15

So this means a triangle is not possible.

Imagine you had 3 strips of paper that were 7 inches, 8 inches and 15 inches long. The 7 and 8 inch strips add to 15 inches, but those two smaller strips only form a straight line. We cannot pull them so a triangle forms. If we did, then the third side would be smaller than 15 inches. This is one way to get hands on to see why the triangle inequality theorem works.

==========================================================

Problem 4

Answer: Yes a triangle is possible with side lengths 5,6,10

--------------------

Explanation:

Same idea as before. We can take any two sides, add them, and get a sum larger than the third side. A triangle is possible.

5+6 = 11 is larger than 106+10 = 16 is larger than 55+10 = 15 is larger than 6

Cooper is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. He makes a base pay amount of $ 60 per day regardless of sales and he earns a commission of 1.5% of the dollar amount of all sales that he makes. Write an equation for P, in terms of x, representing Cooper's total pay on a day on which he sells z dollars worth of computers.

Answers

Answer:

P = 0.015x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Cooper's base pay is $60, he would earn $60 even for selling $0 worth of computers, meaning P= 60 when x=0, which is the y-intercept.

(0,60) is a point on the graph

Since Cooper makes a commision of 1.5% for all sales, the amount of money earned in a given day increases $0.015 for each $1 of sales made (multiply 1 by 0.015). This means the slope of P is equal to 0.015.
