Suppose a set of data about the spread (in hundreds of acres) of a food-borne bacteria (after t weeks) in lettuce has the follow

ing percentage rates of change: 0.9%, 1.3%, 1.1%, 1.0%, 1.3%, 1.0%; and the following average rates of change: 2.9, 2.4, 3.7, 3.1, 3.6, 3.2. Based only on the information given, and without doing any calculations, what type of model would you use? Why? (NOTE THAT the information given is not the actual data set. I have calculated the two types of rate of change for you. You should NOT BE CALCULATING ANYTHING!) Comment:What tells you that the relation is best fit by a linear model? Use principles about what kinds of functions have consistency in which types of rates of change?

Answer:

A sinusoidal model would be used

The kind of function that have consistency in the periodic rate of change is the Average rate of changes

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of model that would be used is sinusoidal model and this is because there is periodic change in the values given ( i.e the rate of changes given )

For percentage rate of changes :

starting from 0.9% there is an increase to 1.3% then a decrease to 1.1% and a further decrease to 1% before an increase to 1.3% and another decrease to 1%

For Average rate of changes:

starting from 2.9 there is a decrease to 2.4, then an increase to 3.7 and another decrease to 3.1 followed by an increase to 3.6 and a decrease back to 3.2

This relation ( sinusoidal model ) is best suited for a linear model because there is a periodic rate of change in the functions

The kind of function that have consistency in the period rate of change is the Average rate of changes

Which transformation maps hexagon 1 into 3?
umka2103 [35]
Let's look at the possibilities:

1. Reflection along the y-axis and rotation of 180 degrees by the origin 0. (Gives us 4 and then 2 in the end)

2. Reflection along the y-axis and reflection along the x-axis. (Gives us 4 and then 3 in the end)

3. Reflection along the x-axis and rotation 90 degrees by the origin 0. (Gives us 4 and then 1 in the end)

4. Rotation of 270 degrees by the origin 0. (Gives us 2 in the end)

Option 2 is the answer.

Best of luck!

Mr. Smith saved $15 by buying a tool at a 10% discount. What was the original price for this tool? Please show work.
Mnenie [13.5K]
Well 10%= 1/10 of 100% so you would Multiply 15$ by 10 to get the original price. E.G 15*10=150$

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

  a different inverse function

Step-by-step explanation:

If f^{-1}(x)=-\frac{1}{5}x then f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{5}x is a different inverse function.

__

The second (inverse) function is the first reflected over the y-axis.
