Mr. Edwards is replacing an existing fence on his farm that is 6 feet high. Reliable Fence Company charges $8,000 for building m

aterials and $225 per foot of fencing. The function y = $225x + $8,000 represents the total charge. ABC Fence Company bases the total charges solely on the length of the fence. The table shows some input and output values for various lengths of fencing. Which statement BEST compares the price of fencing per foot for the two companies?

Answer:

ABC Fence Company charges $35 more per foot of fencing.

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC charges $35 more per foot of fencing.; The slope of each function represents the rate per foot of fencing.

Reliable Fence Company: y = $225x + $8,000 → $225 per foot of fencing. ABC Fence Company:  

$29,200 − $24,000

20

= $260 per foot of fencing

$260 − $225 = $35; therefore, ABC charges $35 more per foot of fencing.

The following table shows the annual income, in dollars, and amount spent on vacation, in dollars, for a sample of 8 families.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

a. Scatterplot is attached.

b. Positive Correlation

c. Correlation coefficient=0.9219

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The following procedure will be used to obtain the scatter plot

  •    Open an Google Sheets file online or excel sheet on your computer.
  •    In column B and C, enter  the Income and Vacation data  as provided above.
  •    Select the data > click on insert CHART.
  •    Chose Scatter Chart option
  •    Click OK.

A scatter plot visualizing your data should be displayed as attached.

b.

  • On your computer, open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
  • Double-click on your scatter plot.
  • At the right, click on Customize  tab and then Series.
  • Scroll down and check the Trend line box

-From the trend line, your notice that your variables have a positive correlation.

-As the income increases, so does vacation expenditure.

c. The correlation coefficient can be calculated as follows.

  • Click on any empty cell in the sheet and enter the formula
  • "=CORREL((y-axis range),(x-axis range))"
  • ENTER

-From our Google Sheets calculation our variables have a positive correlation and the correlation coefficient is 0.9219

-The correlation coefficient,r can also be calculated manually:

-let x be income, and y be vacation and divide all the values by 100 to make the smaller and easier to manipulate:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2-(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2-(\sum y)^2}}\\\\\\\sum xy=153914\\\sum x=4485\\\sum y=246\\\sum x^2=2878447\\(\sum x)^2=4485^2=20115225\\(\sum y)^2=246^2=60516\\\sum y^2=8392\\n=8\\\\\#substitute \ and \ solve \ for \ r\\\\=\frac{8\times153914-4485\times 246}{\sqrt{[8\times 2878447-4485^2][8\times 8392-246^2]}}\\\\=0.92186\\\\\approx 0.9219

louise bought 80 metres of fencing to make an enclosure for her pet dog .tommy if louise expects a rectangular enclosure what is
OleMash [197]

Answer:

400 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest  area is obtained where the enclosure is a square.

I think that's the right answer because a square is a special form of a rectangle.

So the square would be 20 * 20  = 400 m^2.

Proof:

Let the  sides of the rectangle be x and y m long

The area A = xy.

Also the perimeter  2x + 2y = 80

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x.

So substituting for y in A = xy:-

A = x(40 - x)

A = 40x - x^2

For maximum value of A  we find the derivative and equate it to 0:

derivative A' =  40 - 2x = 0

2x = 40

x = 20.

So y = 40 - x

= 40 - 20

=20  

x and y are the same value so x = y.

Therefore for maximum area the rectangle is a square.

Brenna is buying 4.25 feet of ribbon for $1.95 a foot. She determines the product of the two numbers to determine the actual cos
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

4.25 feet of ribbon cost around $ 8.29

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Length of ribbon to be bought by Brenna = 4.25 feet

Cost of 1 foot of ribbon = $1.95

Total or actual cost of the ribbon =

\text{Total length of ribbon}\times \text{Cost per unit length of ribbon}

Cost of ribbon to be purchased by Brenna =

\text{Estimation of cost of ribbon:}

4.25\times 1.95 = 8.2875 \approx \$8.29

Thus, to find the actual cost Brenna should use the product of total length of ribbon to be bought and the unit cost of the ribbon.

Hence, 4.25 feet of ribbon cost around $ 8.29
