b. Every increase in coral growth of one centimeter will result in an average of 5.25 more degrees Celsius of sea surface temperature per year.
c. Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 more centimeters of coral growth per year.
d. Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Answers

Answer 1

Data for the question :

Sea surface temperature 26.7 26.6 26.6 26.5 26.3 26.1

Growth 0.85 0.85 0.79 0.86 0.89 0.92

Answer:

d. Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Surface Temperature (X) : 26.7 26.6 26.6 26.5 26.3 26.1

Growth (Y) : 0.85 0.85 0.79 0.86 0.89 0.92

Using a regression calculator, we can find the model equation and extract the slope :

The regression equation obtained is :

y=5.039-0.1578x

From y = mx + c

Where m = gradient or slope

c = intercept

x and y are predictor and predicted variables respectively.

Hence, the gradient or slope (m) of the model = - 0.157. We have a negative slope, hence, increase in x will result una decrease in y.

The slope thus means: for every 1 degree increase in sea surface temperature (x), there is an average decline of about 0.1578 cm in growth per year.

An airplane maintaining a constant airspeed takes as long to travel 925 mi with wind as it does to travel 775 mi against the wind. If the wind is blowing at 15 mph, what is the rate of the plane in still air

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  170 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the airplane can be represented by s. The travel time will be ...

  time = distance/speed

  925/(s +15) = 775/(s -15)

  925(s -15) = 775(s +15)

  150s = 25500 . . . . . . . . . add 13875-775s

  s = 170

The rate of the plane in still air is 170 mph.

Jonathan bought a new car in November that cost $23,000. The value of the car decreases by 15% each year. What will the value of the car be in five years? *Give the exact value~nearest penny

Answers

Answer:

$5750

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what 15% is in money, we do

23,000*15/100=3450 for one year

3450*5(for five years)=$17,250

Now subtract that

23,000-17,250=$5750

2.) What is the perimeter of a polygon with vertices at (-3, 1), (5, 1), (-3, 4), (5, 4)?

Answers

Answer:

33.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sides of an shape when given vertices is

= √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

When we have:(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

(-3, 1), (5, 1), (-3, 4), (5, 4)

For (-3, 1), (5, 1)

= √(5 - (-3))² + (1 -1)²

= √8² + 0²

= √64

= 8 units

For (5, 1), (-3, 4)

= √(-3 - 5)² + (4 - 1)²

= √-8² + 3²

= √64 + 9

= √73 units

For (-3, 4), (5, 4)

= √(5 - (-3))² + (4 - 4)²

= √8² + 0²

= √64

= 8 units

For (-3, 1), (5, 4)

= √(-3 - 5)² + (4- 1)²

= √8² + 3²

= √64 + 9

= √ 73 units

Perimeter of the Polygon:

=( 8 + √73 + 8 + √73) units

= 33.088007491 units

≈ 33.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To express: 5 of 100, 000 in three expressions (First - number. second - word , third - scientific )

5 of 100, 000 = 5 x 100, 000 = 500, 000

Water flows back and forth between a small and large tank. When water is moving into a tank the flow rate is

positive, and when water is moving from a tank the flow rate is negative. The large tank begins with 300 gallons of

water, and the small tank begins with 200 gallons of water. After a period of 5 minutes, the large tank has the same

amount of water as the small tank. Which statement describes the flow rate?

The flow rate of the large tank is 10 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is -10 gal/min.

O The flow rate of the large tank is -10 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 10 gal/min.

The flow rate of the large tank is 20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is -20 gal/min.

The flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min.

Save and Exit

Answers

Answer:

D. The flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flow rate = [tex]\frac{gallons of water}{minute}[/tex]

flow rate of water in the big tank = [tex]\frac{300}{5}[/tex]

                         = 60 gallons/minute

flow rate in the smaller tank = [tex]\frac{200}{5}[/tex]

                          = 40 gallons/minute

The difference in flow rate between the tanks = 60 - 40

                          = 20 gallons/minute

Since the two tanks have the same amount of water after the given time, then the volume of water in the large tank decrease; while the volume of water in the small tank increased.

Therefore, the flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min. This shows that option D is correct.

in the figure below, C is between A and D, and B is the midpoint of AC. If BD=8 and BC=6, find AD.

Answers

Answer:

AD = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

BC = 6

BD = 8

CD = BD - BC

CD = 8 - 6

CD = 2

Since B is the midpoint of AC, therefore:

AC = 2*BC

AC = 2*6

AC = 12

Thus:

AD = AC + CD

AD = 12 + 2

AD = 14
