Answer:
Good question! The correct answer is a) increases and b) increases.
While the pair of answers a) decreases and b) decreases or the pair a) stays the same and b) stays the same would be technically correct answers, this is the best way of describing the trend of the scatter plot; typically, trends are described by how the dependent or y-variable responds to the independent or x-variable increasing.
2. Dividing exponential expression with the same base is what the left hand fractional expression is. Z^8/Z^?=z^6. Since all the bases are the same. To get the exponential power 6 on the right we subtract the denominator’s (bottom part of the fraction) exponential power (on the left) from the numerator’s (top part) exponential power.
Then, 8 - ? = 6? 2 is the only number to make the left equal the right side. This, z^8/z^2=z^6
Surface area is the area of all the surfaces we can touch
2a)
1/2*5*3+1/2*4*3+6*4+6*5 which is
67.5
b) 2*(1/2*10*6)+12*6+12*10 which is
252
