how can you tell if data is continuous or discrete
For me, it helps to ask this question: Does it make sense to apply the midpoint? If it doesn't make sense, then the data is discrete. Otherwise, the data is continuous.
Here's an example:
Let's say we are counting the number of people buying a movie ticket. So the numbers we care about are positive whole numbers 1,2,3,... It doesn't make sense to apply the midpoint to the values 1 and 2 to get 1.5; you can't sell half a ticket. Therefore the variable "number of movie tickets sold" is a discrete variable. There are gaps in the data.
On the other hand, if we were measuring the weight of various coins, then this variable is continuous. It's possible to have any positive number decimal number weight (eg: 2.275 grams perhaps). It makes sense to apply the midpoint to any two weights and get some other weight. We don't have to worry about sticking to whole numbers only. Unlike before, there aren't any gaps and we consider this number set to be dense.
One way you could remember the two is to keep this in mind: If you count it, then it's likely discrete. If you can measure it, then it's continuous.
There are probably exceptions to that rule, but for the most part it holds up I think.

Which value for x makes the following equation true?
−2x−4=−6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
−2x − 4 = −6
−2x − 4 + 4 = −6 + 4
−2x = −2
−2x/-2 = −2/-2
x = 1
The equation is,
→ -2x - 4 = -6
Let's solve for the value of x,
→ -2x - 4 = -6
→ -2x = -6 + 4
→ x = (-2)/(-2)
→ x = 2/2
→ [ x = 1 ]
Thus, the value of x is 1.

System 1: x = 3 and y = -5System 2: x = 1 and y = 2==========================================================
Explanation:
For now, let's focus on system 1.
We have identical copies of "2y" in each equation, which means that if we were to subtract the equations straight down, then the y terms cancel out. That allows us to solve for x.
The x terms subtract to 7x-x = 6xThe y terms subtract to 0 and go awayThe right hand sides subtract to 11 minus (-7) = 11-(-7) = 11+7 = 18After doing those subtractions, we have the new equation 6x = 18 which solves to x = 3. Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.
Once we know x, we can find out y.
7x+2y = 11
7(3)+2y = 11
21+2y = 11
2y = 11-21
2y = -10
y = -10/2
y = -5
or we can say
x+2y = -7
3+2y = -7
2y = -7-3
2y = -10
y = -10/2
y = -5
We should lead to the same y value either way. This helps confirm we have the correct x value.
Overall, the solution to system 1 is (x,y) = (3, -5)
----------------------------
Now onto system 2.
Unfortunately, we don't have identical y terms this time. But what we can do is double everything in the second equation to go from -x+y = 1 to -2x+2y = 2.
The new equivalent system is
[tex]\begin{cases}7x+2y = 11\\-2x+2y = 2\end{cases}[/tex]
Now we have the same situation as before: Subtract straight down, solve for x.
The x terms subtract to 7x-(-2x) = 7x+2x = 9xThe y terms go away when subtractingThe right hand sides subtract to 11-2 = 9So we have 9x = 9 and that solves to x = 1.
We'll use this x to find the y value.
7x+2y = 11
7(1)+2y = 11
7+2y = 11
2y = 11-7
2y = 4
y = 4/2
y = 2
Or you could pick on the second equation
-x+y = 1
-1+y = 1
y = 1+1
y = 2

Casey is in Florida when a Zombie Apocalypse suddenly breaks out in his area. He needs to help his family and friends cross a sinkhole to escape the marauding herd. Help Casey calculate the amount of rope he will need to zipline his family and friends to safety … don’t mess this up!
(a) Choose a point on the graph (using whole numbers) and use this point to form a triangle, making the red line one side of this triangle. Calculate the three midsegments of the triangle you created, these will stabilize the zipline. Show all of your calculations below and draw in your work in the image above.
(B) Calculate the perimeter of the triangle and the lengths of each midsegment. Add these together so that Casey knows just how much rope he will need to create this lifeline to safety. Show all of your work below. Only round off at the end of the problem. Round to the nearest hundredth digit.
Pleaseeee help 50 points I don't know how to make you brainliest but include that with the answer and I will make you brainliest plzz
Attaching ropes to the midsegment of the triangle formed ensures that the
zipline can more safely cross the family and friends to safety.
The amount of rope needed to create a lifeline to safety is approximately 46.56Reasons:
The coordinates of the endpoints of the redline = A(4, 3), and B(-8, -2)
The point selected, P = (4, -3)
[tex]\displaystyle Mid \ point \ of AB, \ D = \left(\frac{4 + (-8)}{2}, \ \frac{3 + (-2)}{2} \right) = \left(-2, \, 0.5\right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle Mid \ point \ of AP, \ E = \left(\frac{4 +4}{2}, \ \frac{3 + (-3}{2} \right) = \left(4, \ 0 \right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle Mid \ point \ of\, BP, \ F = \left(\frac{-8 +4}{2}, \ \frac{-2+ (-3}{2} \right) = \left(-2, \ -2.5\right)[/tex]
The lengths of the midsegments are found as follows
Length of DE = √((4 - (-2))² + (0 - (0.5))²) = 0.5·√(145)
Length of DF = √(((-2) - (-2))² + ((-2.5) - (0.5))²) = 3
Length of EF = √(((-2) - 4)² + ((-2.5) -0)²) = 6.5
(b) The length of side AB = √((4 - (-8))² + (3 - (-2))²) = 13
The length of side BP = √((4 - (-8))² + (-3 - (-2))²) = √(145)
The length of side AP = √((4 - 4)² + (-3 - 3)²) = 6
The perimeter of the triangle ΔABP = 13 + 6 + √(145) = 19 + √(145)
The amount of rope needed to create a lifeline to safety is therefore;
19 + √(145) + 0.5·√(145) + 3 + 6.5 = 28.5 + 1.5·√(145) ≈ 46.56
The amount of rope needed to create a lifeline to safety = 46.56

Answer:
The amount Selma's distance from home changes per unit of time.
The slope is 38, which means that Selma's distance from home increases by 38 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
I just took the the test in k12 and I got it right.
The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. Selma's distance from home increases by 38 miles per hour.
What is Slope of Line?The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.
The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is
m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁
The given two points from graph are (2, 91) and (4,167)
x₁=2,y₁=91,x₂=4, y₂=167
Substitute in the formula
167-91/4-2
76/2
38
The amount Selma's distance from home changes per unit of time.
So slope is 38, which means that Selma's distance from home increases by 38 miles per hour.
Hence Selma's distance from home increases by 38 miles per hour.

What is the average rate of change of the functionf (x) = 20(1/4)^xfrom x = 1 to x = 2?
Step-by-step explanation:
the average rate of change of a function f(x) between two values of x is
(f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1)
f(x) = 20× (1/4)^x
x1 = 1
x2 = 2
f(x2) = 20× (1/4)² = 20/16 = 5/4
f(x1) = 20× (1/4)¹ = 20/4 = 5
(5/4 - 5) / (2 - 1) = (5/4 - 20/4) / 1 = -15/4

Answer:
1.24 times as intense
Step-by-step explanation:
The intensity of the sound decreases by 24% at construction site from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
What is the average rate of change?Let the function y = f(x).
Then the average rate of change will be
Average rate of change = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
On a busy construction site at 1:00 p.m. the sound level is 124 dB, while at 4:00 p.m. it is 100dB.
Then the intense as the sound of the construction site at 4:00 p.m. is the sound at 1:00 p.m. will be
⇒ (100 – 124) / 100
⇒ -0.24
Then the intensity of the sound decreases by 24% at construction site from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
