Using correlation coefficients, it is found that a coefficient of -1 represents a strong negative correlation.
<h3>What is a correlation coefficient?</h3>
- It is an index that measures correlation between two variables, assuming values between -1 and 1.
- If it is positive, the relation is positive, that is, they are direct proportional. If it is negative, they are inverse proportional.
- If the absolute value of the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.6, the relationship is strong.
For this problem, we have a correlation coefficient of -1, hence it means that:
- The relation is negative, as -1 is a negative number.
- The relation is strong, as the absolute value of the coefficient is of 1, which is greater than 0.6.

Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since sqrt(a) and sqrt(b) are in simplest radical form, that means a and b have no perfect square factors. When sqrt(a) and sqrt(b) are multiplied giving c * sqrt(d), the fact that c came out of the root means that there was c^2 inside the product sqrt(ab). This means that a and b have at least one common factor.
ab = c^2d
Example:
Let a = 6 and let b = 10.
sqrt(6) and sqrt(10) are in simplest radical form.
Now we multiply the radicals.
sqrt(a) * sqrt(b) = sqrt(6) * sqrt(10) = sqrt(60) = sqrt(4 * 15) = 2sqrt(15)
We have c = 2 and d = 15.
ab = c^2d
6 * 10 = 2^2 * 15
60 = 60
Our relationship between a, b and c, d works.

Answer:
x = 41/3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
7(1x - 3) = 4(x + 5)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Simplify: 7(x - 3) = 4(x + 5)
- Distribute: 7x - 21 = 4x + 20
- Subtract 4x on both sides: 3x - 21 = 20
- Add 21 on both sides: 3x = 41
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = 41/3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 7(1(41/3) - 3) = 4(41/3 + 5)
- Multiply: 7(41/3 - 3) = 4(41/3 + 5)
- Subtract/Add: 7(32/3) = 4(56/3)
- Multiply: 224/3 = 224/3
Here, we see that 224/3 is indeed equivalent to 224/3. ∴ x = 41/3 is a solution to the equation.
And we have our final answer!
