<span>Using processing software (Excel) or even a decent scientific calculator. You input the values and generate the best fit cubic equation.
For number 1, the equation is
y = 8x10</span>⁻⁵ x³ - 0.0097 x² + 0.374 x + 1.083
where x is the number of years since 1900
y is the pounds cheese consumed
For number 2, the equation is
y = -3x10⁻⁵ x³ + 0.0028 x² + 0.2155 x + 1.7736
For number 3
P(-1) = 18
option D is the correct option
y= 10- 2x
Now, if we take the first value of x i.e 1
then, y= 10-2(1)
= 10-2 = 8 ---------> this value matches with the given value of y
take,x =2
y=10-2(2) = 10-4 = 6--------->this value matches with the given value of y
taking, x = 3
y= 10-2(3) = 10- 6=4-------->this value matches with the given value of y
Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2. You are trying to find x which is c^2
so plug in the other numbers to the other letters. 9^2 + 17^2 = c^2
9^2= 81. 17^2= 289
81 + 289 = 370
370= c^2
Now all you have to do is square root the number
*square root sign* 370
19.24
c = 19.24
So, x = 19.24
Ok to start you need to break this into a net in your head. Next, calculate each triangle
(6*7)/2 = 21
Then, multiply each triangle by the amount of them.
21*4 = 84
Next, get the area of the square.
7*7 = 49
Lastly, add the triangles and the square up.
49 + 84 = 133
