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?

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

Express 8 1/5% as a mixed number or a fraction

Please show work so I can understand it so I know what to do on problems that look like this in the future

Answers

Answer:

41/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we change the 8 and 1/5% to 8.2%

Write the fraction down as a number over one = 8.2/1

Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 1 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10. So,

8.2/1 = (8.2 × 10)

(1 × 10) = 82/10

Reduce the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD (82,10) = 2. So, (82÷2)/(10÷2) = 41/5 when reduced to the simplest form.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 82/10 is also equal to 81/5 when expressed as a mixed number.

Solve for x

(8x-29)+(3x-1)+(6x-11)=180

Answers

Answer:

x= 13

Step-by-step explanation:

can i please get branlist? if not thats okay.

X equals 13!!!! :))


Simplifying
8x + -29 + 6x + -11 + 3x + -1 = 180

Reorder the terms:
-29 + -11 + -1 + 8x + 6x + 3x = 180

Combine like terms: -29 + -11 = -40
-40 + -1 + 8x + 6x + 3x = 180

Combine like terms: -40 + -1 = -41
-41 + 8x + 6x + 3x = 180

Combine like terms: 8x + 6x = 14x
-41 + 14x + 3x = 180

Combine like terms: 14x + 3x = 17x
-41 + 17x = 180

Solving
-41 + 17x = 180

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '41' to each side of the equation.
-41 + 41 + 17x = 180 + 41

Combine like terms: -41 + 41 = 0
0 + 17x = 180 + 41
17x = 180 + 41

Combine like terms: 180 + 41 = 221
17x = 221

Divide each side by '17'.
x = 13

Simplifying
x = 13

v = u + at

Make u the subject of the formula.

Plz, Write down the answer and don’t put spaces.

Answers

Answer:

u=v-at

Step-by-step explanation:

When making something the subject of the formula, we need to get that thing on 1 side of the equation all by itself. To do this, we need to rearrange.

Because I can see that the side with my "u" has a "+at", I need to get the "+at" onto the other side of the "=", I can do this by subtracting it on both sides (because that - is the inverse of +). So I now have v-at=u. Which is the final answer.

Note: it doesn't matter which side U is on, as long as it is alone (so this equation can also be written as u=v-at.

A 26 ft ladder leaning against a wall begins to slide. How fast is the top of the ladder sliding down the wall at the instant of time when the bottom of the ladder is 10 ft from the wall and sliding away from the wall at the rate of 3 ft/sec?

Answers

Answer:

The top of the ladder is sliding down at a rate of -1.25 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]\displaystyle a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]

(Where a is the height, b is the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall, and c is the length of the ladder itself.)

Note that the hypotenuse c is a constant value at 26 feet. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle a^2 + b^2 = (26\text{ ft})^2 = 676 \text{ ft}^2[/tex]

We want to determine how fast the top of the ladder is sliding down the wall at the instant of time when the bottom of the ladder is 10 feet from the wall and sliding away from the wall at the rate of 3 ft/s.

In other words, we want to find da/dt given that b = 10 ft, and db/dt = 3 ft/s.

First, we can differentiate both sides with respect to t, where a and b are both functions of t:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\left[ a^2 + b^2\right ] = \frac{d}{dt}\left [ 676 \text{ feet}^2\right ][/tex]

Implicit differentiation yields:

[tex]\displaystyle 2a \frac{da}{dt} + 2b \frac{db}{dt} = 0[/tex]

Next, since we know that b = 10 ft, we can find a:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} a^2 + b^2 & = 676\text{ ft}^2 \\ \\ a^2 +(10 \text{ ft})^2 & = 676\text{ ft}^2 \\ \\ a & = 24\text{ ft} \end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute and solve for da/dt:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2a \frac{da}{dt} + 2b\frac{db}{dt} & = 0 \\ \\ 2(24 \text{ ft}) \frac{da}{dt} + 2(10 \text{ ft})(3 \text{ ft/s}) & = 0 \\ \\ 48 \text{ ft} \cdot \frac{da}{dt} & = -60 \text{ ft$^2$/s} \\ \\ \frac{da}{dt} & = -1.25 \text{ ft/s} \end{aligned}[/tex]

Since the ladder is sliding down the wall, da/dt is expected to be negative.

In conclusion, the top of the ladder is sliding down at a rate of -1.25 ft/s.

 what is the geometric sequence and the 8th term and the 10th term

Answers

Answer:

The geometric sequence is decreasing by 0.5 * each term

common ratio = 0.5

an equation for this exact sequence would be

50(0.5)^x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio for a geometric sequence we can divide the previous term value by the next term value

so 50 / 25 = 0.5

and to check we can divide

25 / 12.5 = 0.5

So our common ratio is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence:

50, 25, 12.5, ...

The first term is 50 and the common ratio is:

r = 12.5/25 = 25/50 = 1/2

The equation:

tₙ = t₁rⁿ⁻¹tₙ = 50(1/2)ⁿ⁻¹

Find the 8th and 10th terms:

t₈ = 50(1/2)⁷ = 0.390625t₁₀ = 50(1/2)⁹ = 0.09765625
