<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is: The y-intercept of the line of best fit shows that when time started, the distance was 5 feet.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given a scatter plot with a best fit line as shown on the given graph.
The equation of the best fit line is given by:
y = 0.75x + 5
So with the help of the equation and by looking at the given graph, we can conclude about the representation of the y intercept that the the y-intercept of the line of best fit shows that when time started, the distance was 5 feet.
Since the distance shown on the y axis is already 5 when the time started at 0 minutes.
Answer:
The distance between the astronomers and the moon was meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the speed is the distance divided by the time, so:
In this problem, we have that:
The reflected laser beam was observed by the astronomers 2.52 s after the laser pulse was sent. This means that .
If the speed of light is 3.00 times 10^8 m/s, what was the distance between the astronomers and the moon?
We have that m/s.
We have to find d. So:
The distance between the astronomers and the moon was meters.
The correct answer is a. for very high x-values, f(x) moves towards positive infinity.
This can always be determined by two factors.
1) is it linear or something else?
2) Is the lead coefficient positive or negative.
In this case, since the x is not being raised to a power or is not raised to a power itself, we know that there are no asymptotes. That takes care of #1 for us.
As for #2, since the coefficient of x (which is the highest power here) is positive, that means it continues to get bigger. If it were negative it would be the opposite. So, the correct answer is that as x gets bigger, f(x) moves towards positive infinity.
