Charlie used a regression calculator to generate the equation f(x) = –0.15x + 20.1 for the ordered pairs (2, 15), (4, 21), (6, 26), (8, 20), and (10, 14).
Is a linear representation the best way to represent the data? If it is, explain why. If not, explain why and suggest a better alternative.

Acompany manufactures large valves, packed in boxes. a shipment consists of 1500 valves packed in 75 boxes. each box has the outer dimensions 1.2 x 0.8 x 1.6 m and the inner dimensions 1.19 x 0.79 x 1.59 m. the boxes are loaded on a vehicle (truck + trailer). the available capacity in the vehicle combination is 140 m3. each valve has a volume of 0.06 m3. - calculate the load factor on the box level (%). - calculate the load factor on the vehicle level (%). - calculate the overall load factor (%).

Teams of 4 are competing in a 1/4 mile relay race. each runner must run the same exact distance. what is the distance each teammate runs?

Find the actual dimensions of the box. the side length are in meters and integers. the surface area of the box is 104 m2 and volume of the box is 60 m3.
