Mr. palmer does an experiment to investigate the effects of distractions on studying and learning. he gives each participant a line with 10 words to memorize in 5 minutes. some of the participants are interrupted during the 5 minutes with text messages from friends. the graph shows the number of words remembered after 5 minutes and the number of text messages sent to the participants as distractions.

would a person remember if he or she is distracted by 7 text messages?

words

5 words.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph that shows the number of words remembered after 5 minutes and the number of text messages sent to the participants as distractions. We are asked to find the number of words learned by a student, if he or she is distracted by 7 text messages.

We can see that x-axis represents number of sent text messages and y-axis represents number of words learned by a student.

To find the number of words learned by a student, when student is distracted by 7 text messages, we need to find the y-coordinate corresponding to on the given line.

We can see that the value of y is 5 at , therefore, a person will remember 5 words, if he or she is distracted by 7 text messages.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
