Amy is correct because a nonlinear association could increase along the whole data set, while being steeper in some parts than others. The scatterplot could be linear or nonlinear.
======================================================
Explanation:
Just because the data points trend upward (as you go from left to right), it does not mean the data is linearly associated.
Consider a parabola that goes uphill, or an exponential curve that does the same. Both are nonlinear. If we have points close to or on these nonlinear curves, then we consider the scatterplot to have nonlinear association.
Also, you could have points randomly scattered about that don't fit either of those two functions, or any elementary math function your teacher has discussed so far, and yet the points could trend upward. If the points are not close to the same straight line, then we don't have linear association.
-----------------
In short, if the points all fall on the same line or close to it, then we have linear association. Otherwise, we have nonlinear association of some kind.
Joseph's claim that an increasing trend is not enough evidence to conclude the scatterplot is linear or not.
Answer:
It's fine. It is a function. The language can be very convoluted. Put simply a domain value cannot have 2 different range values.
Step-by-step explanation:
The confusing part I think, is probably the fact that -1 and 1 both have an answer of 5.
That's fine. Parabolas do that and they are functions. Two different xs can have the same value. The thing that eliminates functions is when the x value (the domain) has two different y values (the range values). Then you don't have a function.
To try and make it clearer if 1 pointed at both 3 and 5 you would not have a function.
Answer:
x = -(8/5) or -(
)
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x+12=20
-5x=20-12
-5x=8
x = -(8/5) or -()
We have to use the rule of cosx° to solve this problem. Attached is a diagram of the navigator's course for the plane. It is similar to the shape of a triangle. We know the plane is 300 miles from its destination, so that will be one of the sides. On the current course, it is 325 miles from its destination, so that will be another one of the sides. The last side is 125 because that is the distance between the destination and the anticipated arrival. Cosx° is what we are looking for.
To find how many degrees off course the plane is, we must use the rules of Cosx°, which is shown in the attached image.
The plane is approximately 23° off course.
