Answer:
I will show all the steps to lead to the solution.
1) 10b = 5 (√c + 2) <---- starting equation
2) divide by 5 => 2 b = √c + 2
3) subtract 2 => 2b - 2 = √c
4) raise to the power 2 => (2b - 2)^2 = c, which is the expression given.
Now these are two equivalent forms:
1) extract 2 from the parentheses: c = 4 (b -1)^2
2) expand the parentheses: c = 4b^2 - 8b + 4)

Choice D
Answer:
the slope of the regression equation for predicting our Exam 2 scores from Exam 1 scores is 0.492
And the y-intercept of the regression equation for predicting our Exam 2 scores from Exam 1 is 33.688
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
mean X" = 86
SD σx = 10
Y" = 76
SD σy = 8.2
r = 0.6
Here, Exam 2 is dependent and Exam 1 is independent.
The Regression equation is
y - Y" = r × σy/σx ( x - x" )
we substitute
y - 76 = 0.6 × 8.2/10 ( x - 86 )
y - 76 = 0.492( x - 86 )
y - 76 = 0.492x - 42.312
y = 0.492x - 42.312 + 76
y = 0.492x + 33.688
Hence, the slope of the regression equation for predicting our Exam 2 scores from Exam 1 scores is 0.492
And the y-intercept of the regression equation for predicting our Exam 2 scores from Exam 1 is 33.688
Step-by-step explanation:
with the formula y= mx+c the slope is m and the y intercept is c so the slope of this equation is 8 and the y intercept is 10
