A Child’s Growth and Prosperity
When a new baby enters this world, pediatricians will monitor the baby’s growth in many areas. Weight, head circumference, length, and body mass index are just a few of the measurements collected as newborns progress through childhood. Parents of newborns are not only concerned with their child’s measurements, but they typically consider their child’s medical and financial needs, too.



As you complete the task, keep these questions in mind: How can you use linear functions to describe and analyze measurements associated with babies’ growth? How can you use functions to calculate college savings and to determine how much medicine to administer?
Directions:
Complete each of the following tasks, reading the directions carefully as you go.
You will be graded on the work you show, or your solution process, in addition to your answers. Make sure to show all of your work and to answer each question as you complete the task. Type all of your work into this document so you can submit it to your teacher for a grade. You will be given partial credit based on the work you show and the completeness and accuracy of your explanations.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.75 inch/month

b) y-20 = 0.75(x-4)

c) 17 inches

d) 44

a) 0.8 inch/month

b) yes

c) y = 0.8x + 18.8

d) 18.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (21.5-20)/(6-4) = 1.5/2

= 0.75 inch/month

If this is correct, 2 months after the 6th month (month 8), it should be

21.5 + 2(0.75) = 23

Which it is

b) y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Where y is the length, x is the months, m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a known point

At x = 4, y = 20

y-20 = 0.75(x-4)

Or

y = 0.75x + c

20 = 0.75(4) + c

c = 20 - 3 = 17

y = 0.75x + 17

c) at birth, 4 months before month 4

So, 20 - 0.75(4) = 17

Which is also the y-intercept

d) y = 0.75(36) + 17

y = 27 + 4 = 44 inches

Generally, at the age of 3 years (36 month) the length is between 35 and 40 inches

a) slope = (30-22)/(14-4)

= 0.8 inch/month

b) 0.8 > 0.75, so yes

c) When x = 4, y = 22

y-22 = 0.8(x - 4)

y - 22 = 0.8x - 3.2

y = 0.8x + 18.8

y-intercept is 18.8

d) at birth, x = 0.

Length was 18.8 inches

Answers

Differentiate both sides of

implicite with respect to x :

[tex]\dfrac23 x^{-1/3} + \dfrac23 y^{-1/3} \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 0[/tex]

Solve for the derivative dy/dx :

[tex]x^{-1/3} + y^{-1/3} \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 0 \\\\ y^{-1/3} \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = - x^{-1/3} \\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = -\dfrac{x^{-1/3}}{y^{-1/3}} \\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = -\left(\dfrac yx\right)^{1/3}[/tex]

Get the slope at the given point (-3√3, 1) :

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}(-3\sqrt3,1) = -\left(\dfrac{1}{-3\sqrt3}\right)^{1/3} = \dfrac1{(3\sqrt3)^{1/3}} = \dfrac1{\sqrt3}[/tex]

Then the equation of the tangent line to the curve through (-3√3, 1) is

[tex]y - 1 = \dfrac1{\sqrt3}(x+3\sqrt3) \\\\ \boxed{y = \dfrac1{\sqrt3}x + 4}[/tex]

Explanation:

Anything is categorized by how it matches with the definition of the category.

A composite number is a product of primes. A prime number is divisible only by itself and 1.

If a number has more than one prime factor (even if that is just multiple instances of the same prime factor), it goes into the composite number category. If its only prime factor is itself, it goes into the prime number category.

Amount of Paint and Size of Wall
Area of wall feet squared, x

400
Amount of paint (pints), y
4
9
25

How much paint should the painter expect to use to paint a wall with an area of 256 square feet?

Answers

Answer:

16 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

it seems like there's a pattern. when you divide x by 16, you get the result of y.

64/16 = 4

144/16 = 9

400/16 = 25

so to find the answer would be x/16 = y.

sqrt ft is x, pints is y.

we're looking for how many pints of pain we should use for 256 sqrt ft. we use that same equation, but replace x with 256, and solve for y.

256/16 = 16

therefore, your answer is 16 pints.

Bill is 30 years old. He has just started a new job, and he cycles to work. The
probability of having a serious accident on any given day is 10E−4
(and the days are independent of each other as far as cycling accidents are concerned). He works 250 days per year, and will work for 35 years before retiring to North Hatley–unless a cycling accident catches up with him first.
a) What is the probability that he gets through his career without a serious
cycling accident?
b) Thirty years pass. Bill continues to cycle, and has never had a serious
accident. However, the probability of accident on any given day remains 10E−4
Is the probability that he will get through his entire career without an accident the
same? If so, explain why. If not, calculate it and interpret.

Answers

Using the binomial distribution, we have that:

a) 0.4168 = 41.68% probability that he gets through his career without a serious  cycling accident.

b) Considering that the probability of an accident on a given day is independent of any other day, now just the last five years are considered, thus, the probability changes and there is a 0.8825 = 88.25% probability that he will get through his entire career without an accident the same.

For each day, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is an accident, or there is not. The probability of there being an accident on a day is independent of any other day, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]  

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

0.0001 probability of an accident on a given day, thus [tex]p = 0.0001[/tex]250 days, for 35 years, thus the number of days is [tex]n = 250(35) = 8750[/tex].

Item a:

The probability is P(X = 0), thus:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8750,0}.(0.0001)^{0}.(0.9999)^{8750} = 0.4168[/tex]

0.4168 = 41.68% probability that he gets through his career without a serious  cycling accident.

Item b:

The probability changes, as we consider now just five years.The number of days is now [tex]n = 250(5) = 1250[/tex].

Then:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8750,0}.(0.0001)^{0}.(0.9999)^{1250} = 0.8825[/tex]

Considering that the probability of an accident on a given day is independent of any other day, now just the last five years are considered, thus, the probability changes and there is a 0.8825 = 88.25% probability that he will get through his entire career without an accident the same.

What is the solution to the system -3×+4y+2z=-3 2×-4y-z=0 y=3x-13

Answers

Answer:

x=5, y=2, z=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-13

-3x+4y+2z = -3x + 4(3x-13) + 2z = 9x+2z-52 = -3

9x + 2z = 49  ... (1)

2x-4y-z = 2x-4(3x-13)-z = -10x-z+52 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point-slope formula to write an equation for this line. The point-slope formula states :

where m  is the slope and (x1   y1)  is a point the line passes through .

We can substitute the slope and values from the point to give:

(y-1) = 8 (x-7)

We can also transform this equation to the slope-intercept form by solving for  

y

. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+b

where the m is the slope and b s the y-intercept value.

y-1= (8 times x) - ( 8 times 7)

y-1=   8x - 56

y-1 + 1= 8x- 56 + 1
