Answer:
This is simple linear regression analysis. We can determine the line of best fit using technology
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent increase from 2000 to 2001 is 12% and from 2001 to 2002 is 12.6%. Thus period of 2001 to 2002 has higher increase percentage.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that,
Total circulation of local newspaper in 2000 = 3250
Total circulation of local newspaper in 2001 = 3640
Total circulation of local newspaper in 2002 = 4100
<em><u>Finding percent of increase in the newspaper’s circulation from 2000 to 2001:</u></em>


<em><u>Finding percent of increase in the newspaper’s circulation from 2001 to 2002:</u></em>

As we can see 12% < 12.6%
So period of 2001 to 2002 has higher increase percentage.
<em><u>Question:</u></em>
Is square root of 1.6875 a rational number ?
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
Square root of 1.6875 a rational number is not a rational number
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to find square root of 1.6875 and determine if it is rational number or not
Let us first find square root of 1.6875

Let us understand about rational number
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction (ratio) in the form
where p and q are integers and q is not zero.
When a rational number fraction is divided to form a decimal value, it becomes a terminating or repeating decimal.
So the number 1.29903810568 is not a rational number
<em><u>In other words we can say,</u></em>
Only the square roots of square numbers are rational. Here 1.6875 is not a perfect square. So it is not rational number
There ya go, the graphing
