Answer:

c. observed values of the independent variable and the predicted values of the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

This helps us, for example, find the values of y in a y = f(x) equation. y is dependent of x. So x is the independent variable and y the dependent. Obviously, this system is used for way more complex equations, in which is hard to find an actual pattern for y, so we use this method to compare the predicted values of y to the observed.

The correct answer is:

c. observed values of the independent variable and the predicted values of the independent variable

A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he realizes the populat
marysya [2.9K]
The answer to this question would be:
<span>The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x represents the situation.
After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining.
</span>
In this problem, there are 9,000 bees and the amount is decreased 5% each year. Decreased 5% would be same as become (100%-5%=)95% each year. Then the function should be like:
f(x)= 9,000 * 95%^ x= 9,000 * 0.95^x

If you put X=2 and X=4 the result would be: 
<span>f(2) = 9,000* (0.95)^2= 8122.5 (round up to tenth will be 8120)
</span>f(4) = 9,000* (0.95)^4= 7330.5

Jabari is thinking of three numbers. The greatest number is twice as large as the least number. The middle number is three more
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  18, 21, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the least number. Then the greatest is 2L and the middle number is (L+3). Their sum is ...

  L +(2L) +(L+3) = 75

  4L = 72 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2, collect terms

  L = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  L+3 = 21

  2L = 36

The numbers are 18, 21, and 36.
