Answer:
B. y = -0.58x^2 -0.43x +15.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The data has a shape roughly that of a parabola opening downward. So, you'll be looking for a 2nd-degree equation with a negative coefficient of x^2. There is only one of those, and its y-intercept (15.75) is in about the right place.
The second choice is appropriate.
_____
The other choices are ...
A. a parabola opening upward
C. an exponential function decaying toward zero on the right and tending toward infinity on the left
D. a line with negative slope (This might be a good linear regression model, but the 2nd-degree model is a better fit.)
Answer:
16 fluid ounces=2 cups
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
First draw 24 shapes of your choice.
Then, in a different space or below those 24 shapes, draw 10 more shapes twice. So draw 10 shapes and draw 10 more next to them. Finally, draw 4 more shapes with space between them and say "10+10+4=24"
Answer:
Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ---> the number of years since 2012
f(x) ---> is the total amount of salt ingested in grams
we have

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form
where
The slope is equal to

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

The y-intercept is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero
In this context, the y-intercept is the average amount of grams of salt ingested in the year 2012
The exact value of the average amount of grams of salt ingested in the year 2012 is 3,554 grams (see the data in the table)
Compare the exact value with the y-intercept

therefore
3,548 grams Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012
