The correlation coefficient r of the data set is <em>-0.28</em>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we would like to figure out the derivative of the following:

to do so, let,

By simplifying we acquire:

use law of exponent which yields:

take derivative in both sides:

use sum derivation rule which yields:

By constant derivation we acquire:

use exponent rule of derivation which yields:

simplify exponent:

two negatives make positive so,

<h3>further simplification if needed:</h3>
by law of exponent we acquire:

simplify addition:

and we are done!
Answer: 1 hour 20 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The old machine could shred a truckload of paper in 4 hours.
Rate of work done by old machine = 
The new machine could shred the same truckload in 2 hours.
Rate of work done by new machine = 
Let 't' be the time taken by both of them working together , then we have the following equation:-

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes
Then, 
Hence, it will take 1 hour 20 minutes to shred the same truckload of paper if Ron runs both shredders at the same time.
