The weight, y, in pounds, of kittens was tracked for the first 8 weeks after birth where t represents the number of weeks after

birth. The linear model representing this relationship is ŷ = 1.7 + 1.48t. Statler wanted to predict the weight of a kitten at 10 weeks. What is this an example of, and is this method a best practice for prediction? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mentioned relationship for the weight, in pounds, of the kitten with respect to time, in weeks, is

\hat y =1.7 +1.48t

Weight of the kitten after 10 weeks

\hat y =1.7 +1.48\times 10

\hat y =16.5 pounds

This modeled equation is based on the observation of the early age of a kitten where the kitten is in its growth period, but in the early stage the growth rate in the weight of the kitten was the same but the growth of any living beings continues till the adult stage. So, after some time, in real life situation, this weekly change in weight will become zero, So, this model is not suitable to measure the weight of the kitten over the larger time period.

Here, t= 10 weeks is nearby the observed time period, so the linearly modeled equation can be used to predict the weight.

Hence, the weight of the kitten after 10 weeks is 16.5 pounds.

A new crew of painters can paint a small apartment in 12 hours.  An experienced crew can paint the small apartment in 6 hours. 
Varvara68 [4.7K]
The new crew works at the rate 1/12 apt/hr.
The old crew works at the rate 1/6 apt/hr.

Let x = hours required to paint the apartment when the two crews work together.

That is, 
(1/12 + 1/6  apt/hr)*(x hr) = (1 apt)
(3/12)x = 1
(1/4)x = 1
x = 4 hours

Answer:  4 hours

The profitability, P, of a popular restaurant franchise can be modeled by the function P (t) = t4 – 10t3 + 28t2 – 24t, where t i
vekshin1

In this question, the profit of the restaurant after t months is given by a polynomial function. To find when it begins to show a profit, we find the numerical values of the function for t, and it shows a profit when t > 0

Profit after t months:

P(t) = t^4 - 10t^3 + 28t^2 - 24t

0 months:

This is P(0). So

P(0) = 0^4 - 10*0^3 + 28*0^2 - 24*0 = 0

1 month:

This is P(1). So

P(1) = 1^4 - 10*1^3 + 28*1^2 - 24*1 = -5

2 months:

This is P(2). So

P(2) = 2^4 - 10*2^3 + 28*2^2 - 24*2 = 0

3 months:

This is P(3). So

P(3) = 3^4 - 10*3^3 + 28*3^2 - 24*3 = -9

4 months:

This is P(4). So

P(4) = 4^4 - 10*4^3 + 28*4^2 - 24*4 = -32

5 months:

This is P(5). So

P(5) = 5^4 - 10*5^3 + 28*5^2 - 24*5 = -45

6 months:

This is P(6). So

P(6) = 6^4 - 10*6^3 + 28*6^2 - 24*6 = 0

7 months:

This is `P(7). So

P(7) = 7^4 - 10*7^3 + 28*7^2 - 24*7 = 175

After 7 months it shows profit, so it starts showing profit on the 6th month, and thus, the correct answer is given by option D.

For the binomial expansion of (x + y)^10, the value of k in the term 210x 6y k is a) 6 b) 4 c) 5 d) 7
Sloan [31]

Answer:

a) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding the polynomial using the formula:

$(x+y)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} x^{n-k} y^k $

Also

$\binom{n}{k}=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$

I think you mean 210x^6y^4

We can deduce that this term will be located somewhere in the middle. So I will calculate k= 5; k=6 \text{ and } k =7.

For k=5

$\binom{10}{5} (y)^{10-5} (x)^{5}=\frac{10!}{(10-5)! 5!}(y)^{5} (x)^{5}= \frac{10 \cdot 9 \cdot 8 \cdot 7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5! }{5! \cdot 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 } \\ =\frac{30240}{120} =252 x^{5} y^{5}$

Note that we actually don't need to do all this process. There's no necessity to calculate the binomial, just x^{n-k} y^k

For k=6

$\binom{10}{6} \left(y\right)^{10-6} \left(x\right)^{6}=\frac{10!}{(10-6)! 6!}\left(y\right)^{4} \left(x\right)^{6}=210 x^{6} y^{4}$

If Machine A makes a yo-yo every five minutes and Machine B takes ten minutes to make a yo-yo, how many hours would it take them
Murrr4er [49]
If every 5 mins, A makes 1 yo-yo every 10 mins, B makes 1 yo-yo then every 10 mins, both machines produce 3 yo-yos every 10 mins (2 from machine A and 1 from machine B) Therefore, for 20 yo-yos, both machines would take 70 minutes( 1 hour and 10 mins). After 70 minutes, 21 yo-yos would be produced.
