Answer: D) The linear model shows a strong fit to the data
The actual strength of the relationship is unknown unless we have the actual values of each data point (so we can compute the correlation coefficient r), but the residuals are randomly scattered about both above and below the horizontal axis. This means we have a fairly good linear fit. If all of the points were above the line, or all below the line, or all residuals fit a certain pattern (eg: parabola), then it wouldn't be a good linear fit.

Answer:
2a²
Step-by-step explanation:
Pair 'like' terms with 'like' terms, ie numbers go with numbers, and 'a's go with 'a's.
Lets deal with the top of the fraction first:
4ax3a³
Rearrange it so you have numbers beside numbers and 'a's beside 'a's:
(4x3)x(axa³)
12x(a⁴) <em>(because nᵃxnᵇ=nᵃ⁺ᵇ)</em>
12a⁴
Now, instead of (4ax3a³)/6a², we have 12a⁴/6a²
First divide the numbers: 12/6 =2
Now divide the 'a' parts: a⁴/a²=a² <em>(because nᵃ/nᵇ=nᵃ⁻ᵇ)</em>
Now we have 2a²
There are six possible outcomes
