HELP PLEASE DUE NOW!! Does a line of best fit need to go through at least one point for there to be a correlation Also if a line

can go through the points on a scatter plot is there correlation???

Answer:

For a line of best fit, it doesn't nessesarily have to land on a point, it just has to be in between them or on them whichever way you choose to do it. And also your second question, yes it is correlation if it lines up with the line and not somewhere else or if there are so many dots that they don't really form a line then it isn't a correlation.

Hope this helps!

Plss help!<br>Question: Find a,b and c

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

See below, please

Step-by-step explanation:

The right：

${(y + c)}^{2} - b \times (x + a) \\ = ( {y}^{2} + 2yc + {c}^{2} ) - bx - ba =$

$= {y}^{2} - bx + 2cy + {c}^{2} - ab$

The left:

$= {y}^{2} - 7x - 18y + 109$

So, after comparing the right side and the left side of this equation, we know

1)

$b = 7$

2)

$2c = - 18 \\ so \\ c = - 9$

3)

${c}^{2} - ab = 109$

So,

$a = \frac{ {c}^{2} - 109}{b} = \frac{ { (- 9)}^{2} - 109}{7} = \frac{ - 28}{7} = - 4$

Identify whether the equation represents an exponential growth or exponential decay function.1. y = 1/4 (1/e)^-2x2. y = (1/e)^4x

zvonat [6]

The general formula for exponential growth and decays is:

$y=y_0e^{kx}$

if k>0 then then it is an exponential growth function. If k<0 then the function represents an exponential decay.

Now we need to classify each of the functions:

1.

The function

$y=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{1}{e})^{-2x}$

can be wrtten as:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{4}(e^{-1})^{-2x}^{} \\ =\frac{1}{4}e^{2x} \end{gathered}$

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=2, therefore this is an exponential growth.

2.

The function

$y=(\frac{1}{e})^{4x}$

can be written as:

$\begin{gathered} y=(\frac{1}{e})^{4x} \\ y=(e^{-1})^{4x} \\ y=e^{-4x} \end{gathered}$

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-4, therefore this is an exponential decay.

3.

The function

$y=2e^{-x}+1$

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-1, therefore this is an exponential decay.

If you add 21 to my number and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 84 more than two-thirds of my number. Find my number.

Ksivusya [100]

Based on the calculations, the unknown number is equal to $\frac{-45}{7}$

Let the unknown number be x.

<h3>How to find an unknown number:</h3>

Translate the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

Adding 21 to the unknown number:

$21 +x$

Multiplying the result by 3:

$3\times (21+x)$

84 more than two-thirds of the unknown number:

$\frac{2x}{3} +84$

Equating the equations, we have:

$3\times (21+x) = \frac{2x}{3} +84\\\\43+3x=\frac{2x}{3} +84$

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$43+3x=\frac{2x}{3} +84\\\\129+9x=2x+84\\\\9x-2x=84-129\\\\7x=-45\\\\x=\frac{-45}{7}$

Monet measures the diameter of an Oreo and finds that each cookie is 1.75 inches across. Using Monet's measurement, calculate th

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

5.495 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Monet measures the diameter of an Oreo and finds that each cookie is 1.75 inches across. We are asked to find the circumference of an Oreo.

We know that circumference of circle is equal to $2\pi r$ , where r represents radius of circle.

We also know that diameter is 2 times radius.

$D=2r$

Upon substituting $2r=\text{ 1.75 in}$ , we will get:

$\text{The circumference of an Oreo}=\text{ 1.75 in}\times \pi$

Using 3.14 as an estimation for π, we will get:

$\text{The circumference of an Oreo}=\text{ 1.75 in}\times 3.14$

$\text{The circumference of an Oreo}=5.495\text{ in}$

Therefore, the circumference of an Oreo would be 5.495 inches.
