A taxi driver records the time required to complete various trips and the distance for each trip. The best fit line is given by the equation $$, where $$ represents the distance in miles, and $$ represents the time for the trip in minutes. Use the best fit line to estimate the distance for a trip that takes 20 minutes.

Complete question :

A taxi driver records the time required to complete various trips and the distance for each trip. The best fit line is given by the equation y = 0.467 x + 0.417 where y represents the distance in miles, and x represents the time for the trip in minutes. Use the best fit line to estimate the distance for a trip that takes 20 minutes.

9.757 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the model Equation:

y = 0.467x + 0.417

y = predicted distance in miles

x = trip time in minutes

The distance for a trip that takes 20 minutes

Substitute 20 for X in the best fit equation

y = 0.467(20) + 0.417

y = 9.34 + 0.417

y = 9.757

Hence, distance in miles for a 20 minutes trip is 9.757 miles

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
