Find a quadratic function that models the data. Round numerical values to the nearest whole number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4x² - 43x + 178

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that data:

1 __ 137

2 __ 110

3 __ 93

4 __ 70

5 __ 65

6 __ 77

Usibg technology, the quadratic regression equation obtained is written in the form:

Ax² + Bx + C

A = 4.34 = 4 ( nearest whole number)

B = - 43.46 = - 43 (nearest whole number)

C = 178.3 = 178 ( nearest whole number)

Hence, the quadratic model is

y = 4x² - 43x + 178

Answer 2

By rounding the coefficients to the nearest whole number, the quadratic function that models the data is[tex]f(x) = 5x^2 - 42x + 174[/tex]

How to Find a quadratic function that models the data.

To find a quadratic function that models the data,  use a quadratic equation of the form:

[tex]f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

Let's use the given data points to form a system of equations and solve for the coefficients a, b, and c.

Using the first data point (month 1 with 137 births):

[tex]f(1) = a(1)^2 + b(1) + c = 137[/tex]

a + b + c = 137 (Equation 1)

Using the second data point (month 2 with 110 births):

[tex]f(2) = a(2)^2 + b(2) + c = 110[/tex]

4a + 2b + c = 110 (Equation 2)

Using the third data point (month 3 with 93 births):

[tex]f(3) = a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 93[/tex]

This simplifies to:

9a + 3b + c = 93 (Equation 3)

Solve this system of equations will give us the values of a, b, and c.

Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2

3a + b = -27 (Equation 4)

Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 3

8a + 2b = -44 (Equation 5)

Now  solve Equations 4 and 5 simultaneously.

Multiply Equation 4 by 2 and subtracting it from Equation 5:

8a + 2b - (6a + 2b) = -44 - (-54)

2a = 10

Divide both sides by 2:

a = 5

Now substitute the value of a back into Equation 4:

3(5) + b = -27

15 + b = -27

Subtract 15 from both sides:

b = -42

Finally, substitute the values of a and b into Equation 1

5 + (-42) + c = 137

-37 + c = 137

Add 37 to both sides:

c = 174

Therefore, the quadratic function that models the data is:

[tex]f(x) = 5x^2 - 42x + 174[/tex]

Rounding the coefficients to the nearest whole number, the quadratic function becomes:

[tex]f(x) = 5x^2 - 42x + 174[/tex]

Answers

a=21

b=69

c=42

d=138

Step-by-step explanation:

c is supplementary to d (which is 138), so c=180-138= 42.

angle b is on the edge of the central angle 138, so b is 1/2, therefore, b=69.

angle a is complementary to angle b because any triangle that includes the diameter is a right angle, so angle a=90-69=21.

Which inequality matches the graph?

−2x + 3y > 7
2x + 3y < 7
−3x + 2y > 7
3x − 2y < 7

Answers

Given:

The dotted boundary line passes through the points (-3,-8), (1,-2) and (9,10).

Above line is shaded.

To find:

The inequality for the given graph.

Solution:

Consider any two points on the line. Let the two points are (1,-2) and (9,10). So, the equation of the line is:

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-(-2)=\dfrac{10-(-2)}{9-1}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y+2=\dfrac{10+2}{8}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y+2=\dfrac{12}{8}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y+2=\dfrac{3}{2}(x-1)[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2.

[tex]2(y+2)=3(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]2y+4=3x-3[/tex]

[tex]2y-3x=-3-4[/tex]

[tex]-3x+2y=-7[/tex]

Above line is shaded and the boundary line is a dotted line. So, the sign of inequality must be >.

[tex]-3x+2y>-7[/tex]

This inequality is not in the equations. So, multiply both sides by -1 and change the inequality sign.

[tex](-3x+2y)(-1)<-7(-1)[/tex]

[tex]3x-2y<7[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is D.

3x = 27

x = 9

RS = x - 4

RS = 9 - 4

RS = 5

The full length is 18.
2x - 6 + 1 + x - 4 = 18

3x = 27
Therefore x = 27/3 = 9.
RS is x-4. Therefore RS is 9-4 = 5

BRAINLIEST FOR EXPLANATION (my own question)
SO when you have a point on a graph, say it's at (-3,7), and you have to graph the dot after a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise around the origin, how would you know what to do?
So I know it is (x,y)--> (-y,x), but having the dot as (-7,3) wouldn't work if you followed that equation. Am I doing it right? If not, how would you apply that 'equation' to (-3,7)?

Answers

Answer:

(-7, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

So the formula is (x, y) --> (-y, x) for a 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation.

To apply this formula to (-3,7), first identify which is the x-coordinate and which is the y-coordinate.

x-coordinate is -3 & y-coordinate is 7

Then you literally just substitute it into the formula like so:

(-y, x) -->(-(7), (-3)) --> (-7, -3)

Try to put parantheses around the coordinate when substituting to prevent confusion & incorrect negative signs.

Hope it helps and good luck (●'◡'●)

Answer:

(-7,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You could read (x,y)->(-y,x) as if I have the point (x,y), the image point is (opposite of y,x).

So shorthand the rule is just saying

(x,y)->(opposite of y, x)

(-3,7)->(-7,-3)

A few more examples:

(5,7)->(-7,5)

(-5,7)->(-7,-5)

(-5,-7)->(7-,5)

(5,-7)->(7,5)

This whole explanation comes down to reading-u as opposite of u.

Opposite just means to change the sign.

Another way to read -u is -1×u.

Example:

Q: evaluate -u if u=8

A: -8

Why? -u means -1×u or opposite or u. Take your pick in reading it. It's the same meaning just different ways of reading. -1×8=-8 or the opposite or 8 is -8.

Example:

Q: evaluate -u if u=-8

A: 8

Why? -u means -1×u or opposite or u. Take your pick in reading it. It's the same meaning just different ways of reading. -1×-8=8 or the opposite or -8 is 8.

does the point (-4, 2) lie inside or outside or on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25?​

Answers

Given equation of the Circle is ,

[tex]\sf\implies x^2 + y^2 = 25 [/tex]

And we need to tell that whether the point (-4,2) lies inside or outside the circle. On converting the equation into Standard form and determinimg the centre of the circle as ,

[tex]\sf\implies (x-0)^2 +( y-0)^2 = 5 ^2[/tex]

Here we can say that ,

• Radius = 5 units

• Centre = (0,0)

Finding distance between the two points :-

[tex]\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ (0+4)^2+(2-0)^2} \\\\\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ 16 + 4 } \\\\\sf\implies Distance =\sqrt{20}\\\\\sf\implies\red{ Distance = 4.47 }[/tex]

Here we can see that the distance of point from centre is less than the radius.

Hence the point lies within the circle.

1. No common tangents

2. One common tangent

3. Two common tangents

4. Three common tangents

5. Four common tangents

Answers

Refer to the diagram belowDraw one smaller circle inside another larger circle. Make sure the circle's edges do not touch in any way. Based on this diagram, you can see that any tangent of the smaller circle cannot possibly intersect the larger circle at exactly one location (hence that inner circle tangent cannot be a tangent to the larger circle). So that's why there are no common tangents in this situation.Start with the drawing made in problem 1. Move the smaller circle so that it's now touching the larger circle at exactly one point. Make sure the smaller circle is completely inside the larger one. They both share a common point of tangency and therefore share a common single tangent line. Start with the drawing made for problem 2. Move the smaller circle so that it's partially outside the larger circle. This will allow for two different common tangents to form. Start with the drawing made for problem 3. Move the smaller circle so that it's completely outside the larger circle, but have the circles touch at exactly one point. This will allow for an internal common tangent plus two extra external common tangents. Pull the two circles completely apart. Make sure they don't touch at all. This will allow us to have four different common tangents. Two of those tangents are internal, while the others are external. An internal tangent cuts through the line that directly connects the centers of the circles.
