Imagine that you have plotted many data points on an xy-plane. Your points seem to align into a clear best-fit line. Do you thin

k this best-fit line can help you make predictions about future data? Explain your answer, and give one or more examples to support it.

It depends really. If you stay close to the present, then predicting future results isn't too bad. The further you go out, the more unpredictable things get. This is because the points may deviate from the line of best fit (aka regression line) as time wears on. Of course, it also depends on what kind of data we're working with. Some pairs of variables are naturally going to correlate very strongly together. An example would be temperature versus ice cream sales.

Emily wants to hang a painting in a gallery. The painting and frame must have an area of 31 square feet. The painting is 5 feet
seropon [69]
Area=legnth times width=31
the frame must go around the frame with equal legnth, x
so
the total area (meaning the frame +picture) is 5+x by 6+x
31=(5+x)(6+x)
expand
31=30+11x+x^2
minus 31 both sides
0=-1+11x+x^2
x^2+11x-1=0

answer is third one

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. the astronaut is 6​ ft, 6 in.​ tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is
marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

s(t)=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and if we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is 10 feet above the surface of the moon, we sub in a 10 for s(t) and solve for t:

10=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and

0=-2.7t^2+50t-3.5 and factor that however you are currently factoring quadratics in class to get

t = .07 sec and t = 18.45 sec

There are 2 times that the ball passes 10 feet above the surface of the moon, once going up (.07 sec) and then again coming down (18.45 sec).

For part B, we are looking for the time that the ball lands on the surface of the moon. Set the height equal to 0 because the height of something ON the ground is 0:

0=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and factor that to get

t = -.129 sec and t = 18.65 sec

Since time can NEVER be negative, we know that it takes 18.65 seconds after launch for the ball to land on the surface of the moon.

What is the domain and range of the equation y=500(1.08)^x
Marina CMI [18]
(x) is an element of a real number. This means it could be an integer, fraction or irrational number.

* As x approaches infinity, y approaches infinity.

* As x approaches minus infinity, y approaches 0.

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

Domain:

(x) is an element of a real number

Range:

A limited-edition poster increases in value each year with an initial value of $18. After 1 year and an increase of 15% per year
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The required equation is y = 18(1.15)^x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The Initial value of poster = $ 18

After 1 year amount of increase = $ 20.70

With the rate of 15% = 0.15

Let future value is y and the number of years be x.

y = 18(1.15)^x

Now verify this by substituting x=1 in above equation.

y = 18(1.15)^1=20.7

Which is true.

Hence, the required equation is y = 18(1.15)^x.
