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

Answers

Answer 1

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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]0.5x-2y>3[/tex]

First, we will have to add 2 to both sides.

[tex]0.5x-2y+2y>3+2y[/tex]

This equals to

[tex]0.5x>2y+3[/tex]

Now, we will make this into a fraction and divide. We will divide by 0.5.

Which number has an 8 that is 1/10 the value of the 8 in 78?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Firstly we need to determine the place value of 8 in the term 78

in the term, we have 7 tens and 8 units

hence the place value of 8 in 78 is the units

Step two:

Now 1/10 of 8 is given as

0.1*8= 0.8

According to the problem statement, we are expected to find a number that has an 8 that is the same as 0.8.

Say 5.8, 6.8, 9.8

we cannot say exactly, but any number that has an 8 that is one decimal away is an equivalent

travel at each rate?

Answers

Answer: He spends 1.5 hours on the first part of trip and 3 hours on the second part of trip

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of hours for first part

Let y = the number of hours for second part

Concept: speed × time = distance

----------------------------------------------------------------

x+y=4.5

59x+57y=259.5

-----

y=4.5-x

59x+57y=259.5

-----

59x+57(4.5-x)=259.5

59x+256.5-57x=259.5

2x+256.5=259.5

2x=3

x=1.5

Answer:

-1,325 ft below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

0(surface level) - 1,500 = -1,500

-1,500 + 525 = -975

-975 - 350 = -1,325

Answer:

they are currently at -1325 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

first yo go up or in other words you subtract 525 to 1500 which gives you 973 then they descend 350 so they are going back down so you add 350 onto 975

how many times greater is the value of the 3 in 4,367 than the value of the 3 in 39?​

Answers

Answer: Roughly 111.97

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 39 divided by 3 is 13.  

2. 4367 divided by 3 is not evenly distributed. Rounding, it would work out to be roughly 1455.66 

3. 1455.66 divided by 13 is roughly 111.97 (Again, this does not distribute evenly)

4. To check your work, multiply 111.97 times 13 and you should get somewhere around 1455.66 which is (4367 divided by 3).

Irrational numbers are numbers with infinite decimals values that are not repeating (ex. Pi 3.14159265....). Whole numbers don’t have decimal values in the first place, so all whole numbers are therefore rational.

Keep in mind that just because a number has decimal values doesn’t mean it’s irrational (ex. 4.5 is a rational number). It needs to have infinite non-repeating decimal values to be irrational.

Find the slope of the given line, if it is defined. 2x + 1 = 0

Answers

Given :

A line 2x + 1 =0 .

To Find :

The slope of the given line .

Solution :

We know , slope of line is given by the tangent of the angle between the x-axis and the line .

Now, for line 2x + 1 =0 i.e [tex]x=\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex] .

The line is perpendicular to x-axis and cuts the x-axis at [tex]\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex] .

Therefore , the angle between the line and x-axis is [tex]90^o[/tex] .

So , slope [tex]m=\tan\ 90^o[/tex] i.e undefined .

Therefore , the slope of given line is not defined .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Answer : The equation for 'h' is [tex]h=\frac{2A}{b}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation :

The given equation is:

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

Now we have to determine the equation for 'h'.

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

Multiplying the equation by 2.

[tex]2\times A=2\times \frac{1}{2}\times bh[/tex]

on simplifying, we get:

[tex]2\times A=bh[/tex]

Dividing the equation by 'b'.

[tex]\frac{2\times A}{b}=\frac{bh}{b}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2\times A}{b}=h[/tex]

When finding all the roots of polynomials, how do you find the possible rational zeros to know which numbers you plug back into the function to get the number you synthetically divide by?

Answers

Answer:

You would have to break the polynomial down into smaller binomials or monomials. Take x^2-6x-9 for instance. It would break down into (x+3)(x-3) through the a^2+2ab+b^2 formula. After that set the two nomials equal to zero and solve for x. After that, you would plug back in x to see whatever x works. You may more than two nomials after breaking it apart so keep that in mind.

Lisa purchased a hat for $10, a purse for $20, and a book for $23. The sales tax rate was 7.2 percent. What was the total amount she paid?

Answers

Answer:

$56.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the stuff she bought is 10+20+23, so 53.

Now you need to find the tax, so you multiply 53 x 7.2%, and to change a % to a number you move the decimal place two to the left, so you get .072

$53 x .072 = $3.816 sales tax

$53 for the stuff plus $3.816 tax = $56.816

Diego and Anya live 72 miles apart. They both meet at
their favorite restaurant, which is (16x – 3) miles from
Diego's house and (5x + 2) miles from Anya's house.
Diego argues that in a straight line distance, the restaurant
is halfway between his house and Anya's house. Is Diego
right? Justify your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

The restaurant is not at half way

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total\ Distance = 72[/tex]

[tex]Diego = 16x - 3[/tex]

[tex]Anya = 5x + 2[/tex]

Required

Accept or reject Diego's claim

To do that, we need to determine the value of x by:

Diego + Anya =Total Distance

Substitute values for each parameter

[tex]16x - 3 + 5x + 2 = 72[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]16x + 5x = 72 + 3 - 2[/tex]

[tex]21x = 73[/tex]

Divide both sides by 21

[tex]x = \frac{73}{21}[/tex]

Substitute the value of x in Diego and Anya's distance

[tex]Diego = 16x - 3[/tex]

[tex]Diego = 16 * \frac{73}{21} - 3[/tex]

[tex]Diego = \frac{1168}{21} - 3[/tex]

[tex]Diego = \frac{1168 - 63}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Diego = \frac{1105}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Diego = 52\frac{13}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Anya = 5x + 2[/tex]

[tex]Anya = 5 * \frac{73}{21} + 2[/tex]

[tex]Anya = \frac{365}{21} + 2[/tex]

[tex]Anya = \frac{365 + 42}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Anya = \frac{407}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Anya = 19\frac{8}{21}[/tex]

Since, both distances are not equal,

Then Diego's claim is false and incorrect
