Question:

A scatter plot shows a set of data points that suggest a linear association. Which of the following best describes the process of fitting a linear function to this data?

Answer Choices:

  • A) Calculate the mean of all data points
  • B) Draw a straight line that best represents the data points
  • C) Connect all data points with a zigzag line
  • D) Find the median of the data points
✅ Answer:
Draw a straight line that best represents the data points

💡 Explanation:

  • Fitting a linear function to a scatter plot involves drawing a straight line that best represents the general trend of the data points.

  • This is often done using a method called 'least squares' to minimize the differences between the data points and the line.

Question:

Consider the vectors u=(23) \mathbf{u} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} and v=(14) \mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} . If these vectors are multiplied by scalars a a and b b respectively, select all transformations that correctly represent the resulting vectors when a=2 a = 2 and b=3 b = -3 .

Answer Choices:

  • A)

    A. The vector \( 2\mathbf{u} is (46) \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix} and 3v -3\mathbf{v} is (312) \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -12 \end{pmatrix} .\)

  • B)

    B. The vector \( 2\mathbf{u} is (46) \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix} and 3v -3\mathbf{v} is (312) \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 12 \end{pmatrix} .\)

  • C)

    C. The vector \( -3\mathbf{u} is (69) \begin{pmatrix} -6 \\ -9 \end{pmatrix} and 2v 2\mathbf{v} is (28) \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 8 \end{pmatrix} .\)

  • D)

    D. The vector \( 2\mathbf{u} is (46) \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix} and 3v -3\mathbf{v} is (312) \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ -12 \end{pmatrix} .\)

✅ Answer:
B, D

💡 Explanation:

  • To multiply vector u=(23) \mathbf{u} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} by scalar a=2 a = 2 , you compute 2u=(2×22×3)=(46) 2\mathbf{u} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \times 2 \\ 2 \times 3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix} .

  • To multiply vector v=(14) \mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} by scalar b=3 b = -3 , you compute 3v=(3×13×4)=(312) -3\mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \times -1 \\ -3 \times 4 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -12 \end{pmatrix} .

  • Hence, only options B and D represent the correct transformations.

Question:

Which of the following best explains how the migratory patterns of early hunter-gatherers impacted the regions they settled in?

Answer Choices:

  • A) They introduced new hunting techniques and tools that influenced local animal populations and hunting practices.
  • B) They immediately established large cities and complex political systems upon arrival in new regions.

Question:

Consider the 2x2 matrix A = (3124) \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 4 \end{pmatrix} . If this matrix is used to transform a shape in the plane, how does the area of the transformed shape compare to the area of the original shape?

Answer Choices:

  • A) The area of the transformed shape is 1.5 times the area of the original shape.
  • B) The area of the transformed shape is 10 times the area of the original shape.
  • C) The area of the transformed shape is 5 times the area of the original shape.
  • D) The area of the transformed shape is 7 times the area of the original shape.
✅ Answer:
The area of the transformed shape is 10 times the area of the original shape.

💡 Explanation:

  • The determinant of matrix A is calculated as 3×41×2=122=103 \times 4 - 1 \times 2 = 12 - 2 = 10.

  • The absolute value of the determinant gives the area scaling factor.

  • Therefore, the area of the transformed shape is 10 times the area of the original shape.
