Answer: Jane's height = $51\dfrac{1}{20}\text{ inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Lisa's height = $53\dfrac34\text{ inches}=\dfrac{4\times53+3}{4}\text{ inches}$

$=\dfrac{215}{4}\text{ inches}$

Joey's height = $\dfrac{215}4-1\dfrac12$ inches

$=\dfrac{215}4-\dfrac32\\\\=\dfrac{215-6}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{209}{4}\text{ inches}$

Jane's height = $\dfrac{209}{4}-1\dfrac15$ inches

$=\dfrac{209}{4}-\dfrac{6}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{209\times5-6\times4}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{1045-24}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{1021}{20}\\\\=51\dfrac{1}{20}\text{ inches}$

Hence, Jane's height = $51\dfrac{1}{20}\text{ inches}$

What is the quadratic regression equation for the data set? <br><br> PLEASEE HELP ME

Soloha48 [4]

You're trying to find constants $a_0,a_1,a_2$ such that $\hat y=a_0+a_1\hat x+a_2{\hat x}^2$ . Equivalently, you're looking for the least-square solution to the following matrix equation.

$\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}1&6&6^2\\1&3&3^2\\\vdots&\vdots&\vdots\\1&9&9^2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf A}\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf x}=\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}100\\110\\\vdots\\70\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf b}$

To solve $\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b$ , multiply both sides by the transpose of $\mathbf A$ , which introduces an invertible square matrix on the LHS.

$\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b\implies\mathbf A^\top\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b\implies\mathbf x=(\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A)^{-1}\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b$

Computing this, you'd find that

$\mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}\approx\begin{bmatrix}121.119\\-3.786\\-0.175\end{bmatrix}$

which means the first choice is correct.

Verify seca(1-sina)(seca+tana)=1

beks73 [17]

Seca(1-sina)(seca+tana)=1
Left hand side
=(1-sina) (seca +tana) / cosa
=seca +tana - sinaseca - sinatan / cosa
=seca + tana -tana -(sin^2a/cosa) / cosa
=(1/cosa - sin^2a/cosa) / cosa
= (1-sin^2a / cosa) / cosa
= (1-sin^2a)/ (cos^2a)
=1 (verified)
