Answer:
c. there is a positive correlation in-between x and y
Step-by-step explanation:
A regression line is a line that suggests that all the points in a scatter diagram lie on or near one particular line. In a simple regression analysis in which y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable. If the slope is positive, the bivariate data is also said to have a positive correlation. The positive correlation in-between two variables x and y implies that in general, an increase in x goes hand in hand with an increase in y.
Since it is a 45-45-90 right triangle, the formula is:
Hypotenuse= sqrt2 * leg
Since you know hypotenuse = 9sqrt2 the leg has to be 9
Let x and y be the sides of the rectangular corral. Therefore,
Area, A = x*y = xy
Additionally, let the side bordering the barn be x. Then,
Circumference, C = x+y+y = x+2y = 4000 ft => x = 4000 - 2y
Substituting for x in the area equation,
A = (4000-2y)y = 4000y - 2y^2
For maximum area, dA/dy = 0
Then,
dA/dy = 4000 - 4y = 0 => 4000 = 4y => y = 4000/4 = 1000 ft
And x = 4000 - 2y = 4000 - 2*1000 = 4000 - 2000 = 2000 ft
The dimensions of the corral are: 2000 ft by 1000 ft.
Area, A = xy = 2000*1000 = 2000,000 ft^2
