Estimate the length of each line segment to the nearest tenth of a unit. Explain your reasoning.
Problem 2
Plot each number on the \(x\)-axis: \(\sqrt{16},\text{ } \sqrt{35},\text{ } \sqrt{66}\). Consider using the grid to help.
Problem 3
Use the fact that \(\sqrt{7}\) is a solution to the equation \(x^2 = 7\) to find a decimal approximation of \(\sqrt{7}\), whose square is between 6.9 and 7.1.
Graphite is made up of layers of graphene. Each layer of graphene is about 200 picometers, or \(200 \times 10^{\text-12}\) meters, thick. How many layers of graphene are there in a 1.6-mm-thick piece of graphite? Express your answer in scientific notation.
Here is a scatter plot that shows the number of assists and points for a group of hockey players. The model, represented by \(y = 1.5 x + 1.2\), is graphed with the scatter plot.
Scatter plot with line of best fit. Horizontal axis, assists, scale 0 to 60, by 15’s. Vertical axis, Points, scale 0 to 80, by 20’s. Line of best fit, slope =1.5, y intercept =1.2.
What does the slope mean in this situation?
Based on the model, how many points will a player have if he has 30 assists?
