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.

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

21 and 22 are complementary angles. The measure of Z1 is 60°. The
measure of 22 is 5(x - 1)º. Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles have a sum of 90°, therefore the equation to solve for x is:

∠1+∠2=90°

60°+5(x-1)°=90°

5(x-1)=30°

x-1=6

x=7

So the value of x is 7

Answers

Answer:

Question 1: 11%

Question 2: 89%

Question 3: 43%

Question 4: 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at picture 1, we need to find the crossing point between -1.2 and 0.05. That has 0.1056, which is the same as 10.56%. 10.56% rounds to 11%, so C is our answer.

Picture 2 has the same chart, but we just need to find the inverse, since the inequality sign is flipped. 100 - 10.56 is 89.44%, which rounds to 89%, so D is the answer for Picture 2.

Picture 3 has two tables. 0.73 has 76.73% and -0.41 has 34.09%. Subtract 34.09% from 76.73% to get 42.64% That rounds to 43%, so A is the answer.

Picture 4 essentially has the same expression as Picture 2 (only the sign has switched): P(z ≥ 1.25). The meeting point is 89.44%. Now, subtract that from 100 to get 10.56%, which rounds to 11%. C is our answer for Picture 4.

I hope this helps you! ^w^

A container is in a shape of a right circular cylinder standing on its base. If 100 cubic centimeters of water is poured into the container the height of the water is 8 centimeters. What is the height of the water if only 75 cubic centimeters is poured into the container?
A) 2.1 cm
B) 3.8 cm
C) 6.0 cm
D) 6.9 cm
E) 10.7 cm
And why???

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the container isn’t changing here, so the height of the water will be proportional to the volume. 75 cm^3 is ¾ of 100 cm^3, so the water will rise ¾ as high.

¾ of 8 cm is 6 cm.

the spinner is divided into 12 equal sectors. What is the possibility of not spinning a 2?

Answers

Answer:

11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the spinner is divided into 12 equal sectors and numbers 1-12 are written on them. Comment if I am wrong.

Spinning the 12 sided spinner, there is a 1/12 chance of spinning a specific number. So we take the opposite of that, which is 11/12. The chances of not rolling a two mean it comes out true if you roll numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Answers

Answer:

x=-45/11

y=10/11

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x + 9   eq 1

3x + 8y = -5   eq 2

Re arranging eq 1

x-y=-9

Now multiply  eq 1 with 8

8x-8y=-40   now call as eq 3

Add eq 2 and 3

3x+8y=-5

8x-8y=-40

11x=-45

x=-45/11

put value of x in eq 2 for y

 3(-45/11)+8y=-5

-135/11+8y=-5

8y=-5+135/11

8y=(-55+135)/11

8y=80/11

y=(80/11)*(1/8)

y=10/11

Check

3*(-45/11)+8*(10/11)=-5

-135/11+80/11=-5

(-135+80)/11=-5

-55/11 =-5

-5=-5
