Tip: whenever y equals a number, the line is horizontal and the slope is 0. if the number equals x, the line will be vertical and there is no slope.
Monomial is one term, like #2 would be a monomial. binomial is two terms, like 3x - 2. trinomial is three terms, like #1,3,4. polynomial is four terms, like #5. standard form is just rewriting the equation in order from the term with the highest exponent to the lowest
Degree days are the difference between the daily temperature mean, (high temperature plus low temperature divided by two) and 65°F. 65°F because we assume that at this temperature we do not need cooling or heating.
In our case the daily mean temperature is 83°F and X is the number of cooling-degree days.
X=83-65
X=18
A lurking variable within statistics is one that is correlated to both the independent variable (a variable that is varied) and the dependent variable (a variable that is measured). A positive correlation between jumping distance and reading ability within a child is likely to be due to the child's age (answer c).
