Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of best fit line is

y=ax+b

where, a is the slope of best fit line and b is y-intercept.

Using graphing calculator a=-4.54762 and b=43.7143. So equation of best fit line is

y=-4.54762x+43.7143

Here,

Slope=-4.54762

Slope\approx -4.5

Note: In alternate method, you can use the below formula to find slope.

m=\dfrac{\overline{x}\cdot \overline{y}-\overline{xy}}{(\overline{x})^2-\overline{x^2}}

Therefore, the correct option is B.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

B) irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number.  

The premise that c is rational is false

Step-by-step explanation:

The assumption that c is rational means that the difference c-a must be rational. That difference is b, so b=c-a would mean that b must be rational. But b is defined to be irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number, a contradiction arises and the assumption that c is rational must be false. Therefore the sum (c) must be irrational. (B)

<span>1. The two boats picked for the trip are the steamboat and the tall ship. Let us assume that we will take the steamboat going to the island, and then we will take the tall ship for the return trip. We will then relate the distances travelled by both ships to each other.

2. We know that the steamboat takes five hours to complete the trip. The tall ship takes more time, at ten hours to complete the trip. We do not have the exact speeds of the steamboat or of the tall ship, but we do know that the tall ship is 10 knots slower than the steamboat. We likewise do not know the exact distance travelled by either ship, but we do know that both travel the same distance. We want to find out how fast each boat travels. We expect the answers to be in knots, with a difference of 10.

3. We know that distance is equivalent to the product of speed of a boat multiplied by the time of travel. For the trip going to the island, we will use the steamboat. Let its speed be x knots (equivalent to x nautical miles per hour), and let the distance going to the island be d nautical miles. Given that the time takes is 5 hours, this means that d = 5x.

4. If we let x be the speed of the boat you are taking to the island (the steamboat), then we know that the speed of the other boat (the tall ship) is 10 knots less than the steamboat's. So the speed of the tall ship (for the return trip) is (x - 10) knots.

5. Similar to part 3: we will multiply speed by time to determine the distance from the island. From part 4, we have determined that the speed of the tall ship to be used in returning is (x - 10) knots. Meanwhile, the given in the problem says that the tall ship will take 10 hours to make the trip. Therefore the distance will be equal to d = 10(x - 10) = 10x - 100 nautical miles.

6. We can assume that the distance travelled going to the island is the same distance travelled coming back. Therefore, we can equate the formula for distance from part 3 for the steamboat, to the distance from part 5 for the tall ship.
5x = 10x - 100

7. Solving for x: 5x = 10x - 100
-5x = -100
x = 20
Since x is the speed of the steamboat, x = 20 means that the steamboat's speed is 20 knots.

8. We determined in part 4 that the speed of the second boat (in our case, the tall ship) is (x - 10) knots. Since we have calculated in part 7 that the steamboat travels at x = 20 knots, then the speed of the tall ship is (x - 10) = 20 - 10 = 10 knots.</span>

A bucket that has a mass of 30 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 30 meter tall building. You have a ro
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

765 J

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mass of bucket = 30 kg

Mass of rope = 0.3 kg/m

height of building= 30 meter

Now,

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the building = work done in lifting the rope + work done in lifting the sand

Or W = W1 + W2

Work done in lifting the rope is given as,

W1 = Force x displacement

W1 = (30,0)∫(0.2x .dx)

Integrating, we have;

W1 = [0.2x²/2] at boundary of 30 and 0

W1 = 0.1(30²)

W1 = 90 J

work done in lifting the sand is given as;

W2 = (30,0)∫(F .dx)

F = mx + c

Where, c = 30 - 15 = 15

m = (30 - 15)/(30 - 0)

m = 15/30 = 0.5

So,

F = 0.5x + 15

Thus,

W2 = (30,0)∫(0.5x + 15 .dx)

Integrating, we have;

W2 = (0.5x²/2) + 15x at boundary of 30 and 0

So,

W2 = (0.5 × 30²)/2) + 15(30)

W2 = 225 + 450

W2 = 675 J

Therefore,

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building,

W = 90 + 675

W = 765 J

K is the midpoint of segment HL . H has coordinates (1, -7 ) , and K has coordinates(-9, 3 ). Find the coordinates of other end
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Coordinates of other end point L = ( -19, 13 )

Explanation:

 The mid point of the coordinates (a,b) and (c,d) is given by (\frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2})

 Here we have (a,b) = (1,-7) and (\frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2}) = (-9,3) , we need to find (c,d).

 \frac{a+c}{2} =-9\\ \\ 1+c=-18\\ \\ c=-19\\\\ \frac{b+d}{2} =3\\ \\ -7+d=6\\ \\ d=13

So coordinates of other end point L = ( -19, 13 )

Lindy works at a pizza restaurant and gets a 10% employee discount. She knows that if she orders d drinks and a medium pizza wit
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Lindy's total cost can be found using this expression provided in the exercise:

0.90(2.25d + 1.40t + 6)

Where "d" is the number of drinks she orders and "t" is the number of toppings for a medium pizza she orders.

Since she and her friends to order 4 drinks and a medium pizza with 3 toppings, you can find the total cost by substitute values into the given expression.

The values are:

d=4\\\\t=3

Substituting into the expression and evaluating, you get:

 0.90(2.25d + 1.40t + 6)= 0.90(2.25(4) + 1.40(3) + 6)=\$17.28
