In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for f(x)=0 and find a and b.

When we plug in 1, we get: 2 \times {1}^{4} - 5 \times {1}^{3} - 14 \times {1}^{2} + a \times 1 + b = 0

Simplify:
2 - 5 - 14 + a + b = 0
- 17 + a + b = 0
a + b = 17

We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.

We have another given root: 4.

Plug it in:
2 \times {4}^{4} - 5 \times {4}^{3} - 14 \times {4}^{2} + a \times 4 + b = 0
512 - 320 - 224 + 4a + b = 0
- 32 + 4a + b = 0
4a + b = 32

Now we have our second one. We can combine them:
a + b = 17 \\ 4a + b = 32

I use elimination method which is easier here.

Multiply the top equation by -1: - a - b = - 17 \\ 4a + b = 32

Add them up:
3a = 15

Simplify:
a = 5

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:
5 + b = 17
b = 17 - 5
b = 12

So, the answers are a=5 and b=12 .

The results of a linear regression are shown below.
IgorLugansk [536]

Hello!

As we can see, our a value, which would be the coefficient of x, which determines our slope, is negative, meaning that this whole line is negative.

Furthermore, the correlation can be determined using the r value of the linear regression, which is around -0.9.

If the r value of the linear regression is close to 1 or -1, let's say around |r| > 0.8, then we can consider the regression a strong correlation, meaning that this is a strong negative correlation, which is answer choice A.

R s + 14s when r=6 and s=1/4
poizon [28]
Answer: 5

Explanation:
Basically you just change the letter for the number since R equals 6 then in the equation it would be 6 instead of R. Then for S, S would equal 1÷4 which equals 0.25. Then you plug in the numbers into your equation so look something like this 6 x 0.25 + 14(0.25) and all that together equals 5.

Hope this helped :)
