Answer: -0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture, it can be seen that there is a strong negative correlation between the variables.

i.e. the value of correlation coefficient must be negative.

The value of strong correlation coefficient r, lies between the absolute value of 0.75 to 1.

From all the given options -0.99 has the nearest value to the absolute value of 1.

Therefore, the best estimate of the correlation coefficient for the variables in the scatter plot = -0.99

I believe this would be -.99. Correlation typically goes from -1 to 1 with 0 being no correlation whatsoever. Since this has such a strong negative slope, it would need to be as close to -1 as possible.

Answer:

$\frac{x^2}{9}$ - 4x + 36

Step-by-step explanation:

( $\frac{x}{3}$ - 6)² = ( $\frac{x}{3}$ - 6)( $\frac{x}{3}$ - 6)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the firs t factor, that is

$\frac{x}{3}$ ( $\frac{x}{3}$ - 6) - 6( $\frac{x}{3}$ - 6)

Distribute both parenthesis

= $\frac{x^2}{9}$ - 2x - 2x + 36 ← collect like terms

= $\frac{x^2}{9}$ - 4x + 36

The measure of two complementary angles are (4x + 3)° and (x + 4)°. What is the measure of the larger angle?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

69.4 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees so we have the equation:

4x + 3 + x + 4 = 90

5x + 7 = 90

5x = 83

x = 16.6

The larger angle = 4x + 3

= 4(16.6) + 3

= 69.4 degrees (answer).
