Answer:

The dolphin's weight that differs most from the value predicted by this model is JoJo's (31 lb of difference)

Step-by-step explanation:

Name Length (ft) Weight (lb)

Snowflake 8.2 549

Shadow 7.4 501

Corky 8.4 557

Pax 7.6 519

JoJo 5.8 460

Blaze 6.8 488

Use the data from Pax and Snowflake to create a linear model that predicts the weight (y) of a dolphin given its length (X). Which dolphin's weight differs most from the value predicted by this model?

Let's elaborate the model this way:

Snowflake's length - Pax's length = 8.2 - 7.6 = 0.6 ft

Snowflake's weight - Pax's weight = 549 - 519 = 30 lb

Ratio = 30/0.6 = 50 lb/ft

This means that for every foot of length, the dolphin has a variable weight of 50 lb. However, if we multiply the ratio by the actual length of the two dolphins, we will have these results:

Snowflake = 50 * 8.2 = 410

Pax = 50 * 7.6 = 380

What is the common difference in both cases?

Snowflake = Actual weight - Ratio * Length = 549 - 410 = 139

Pax = Actual weight - Ratio * Length = 519 - 380 = 139

The common difference is 139. Therefore, the linear model that predicts the weight (y) of a dolphin given its length (X) is:

y = 139 + 50x

Now, let's use the linear equation or model to calculate the weight of the remaining four dolphins, as follows:

Blaze y = 139 + 50 * 6.8 = 479 ⇒ difference of 9 lb (488 - 479)

JoJo y = 139 + 50 * 5.8 = 429 ⇒ difference of 31 lb (460 - 429)

Corky y = 139 + 50 * 8.4 = 559 ⇒ difference of 2 lb (559 - 557)

Shadow y = 139 + 50 * 7.4 = 509 ⇒ difference of 8 lb (509 - 501)

The dolphin's weight that differs most from the value predicted by this model is JoJo's (31 lb of difference)

What type of polygon would a slice of a hexahedron at a vertex create? Explain. What type of polygon would a slice of an icosahe

harina [27]

Answer:

hexahedron: triangle or quadrilateral or pentagon
icosahedron: quadrilateral or pentagon

Step-by-step explanation:

Hexahedron

A hexahedron has 6 faces. A regular hexahedron is a cube. 3 square faces meet at each vertex.

If the hexahedron is not regular, depending on how those faces are arranged, a slice near a vertex may intersect 3, 4, or 5 faces. The first attachment shows 3- and 4-edges meeting at a vertex. If those two vertices were merged, then there would be 5 edges meeting at the vertex of the resulting pentagonal pyramid.

A slice near a vertex may create a triangle, quadrilateral, or pentagon.

Icosahedron

An icosahedron has 20 faces. The faces of a regular icosahedron are all equilateral triangles. 5 triangles meet at each vertex.

If the icosahedron is not regular, depending on how the faces are arranged, a slice near the vertex may intersect from 3 to 19 faces.

A slice near a vertex may create a polygon of 3 to 19 sides..

Kyle asks his friend Jane to guess his age and his grandmother’s age. Kyle says his grandmother is not more than 80 years old. H

melamori03 [73]

#1 is incorrect. The first equation says that his grandmother is not more than 80 years old. If you confine yourself to whole numbers, then she could be 80 but not more. That inequality should be written as g < 81 or if you are a purist, g≤ 80.

The second equation is correct. At the very most her age is equal to 3k - 3 so at most it would be written as g = 3k - 3.

Since it is not that much, you would write it as g ≤ 3k - 3

Hi :) Firstly we look at the side that is actually the same. How many sides are there that are the same? Next, we note the number of angles that are the same.
