Data was collected on the weight of a male laboratory rat for the first 25 weeks

after its birth. The linear regression equation is y= 40x+100, where x is number of

weeks and y is weight in grams.

What does the y-intercept mean in context of the problem?

The predicted weight of the rat in year 0.

The current weight of the rat.

The predicted weight of the rat at birth

The average increase in the rat's weight

where x is number of  weeks and y is weight in grams.

For this case the y intercept is the value 100 and represent the initial weight for 0 weeks and the best interpretation for this case is given by:

The predicted weight of the rat at birth

And the reason is because the starting value for the weigth represent the weight for the birth

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following equation given:

where x is number of  weeks and y is weight in grams.

For this case the y intercept is the value 100 and represent the initial weight for 0 weeks and the best interpretation for this case is given by:

The predicted weight of the rat at birth

And the reason is because the starting value for the weigth represent the weight for the birth

what type of question is thiss

step-by-step explanation:

la parábola es el lugar

geométrico en el cual los puntos tienen una distancia idéntica, equidistantes,

de un punto denominado foco, f, y una recta denominada directriz

el radio vector de una

parábola es el segmento que existe entre un punto cualquiera y el foco.

por la ecuación se observa

que la parábola abre hacia la derecha, por lo cual podemos usar las siguientes fórmulas

la ecuación ordinaria de la

parábola es y^2 = 4px, donde p es la longitud desde el vértice de la parábola al

foco.

la fórmula de la directriz

es x + p = 0

resolviendo:

y^2-9x = 0

y^2 = 9x

4p = 9, entonces p = 9/4

entonces el foco tendrá la

coordenada f(9/4,0)

la directriz vendrá

expresada por

x + p = 0

x = -p

x = -9/4

el problema indica que la

ordenada es igual a 6, entonces

(6)^2=9x

x = 36/9

x = 4

entonces el punto al cual

hay que obtener la distancia será p(4,6)

calculando se tendrá: pf = 

pf = 6,25 u
