Your answer would be the last option, (6x² - 5)(x² + 2).
This is because when you expand it, you get:
6x² × x² = 6x⁴
6x² × 2 = 12x²
-5 × x² = -5x²
-5 × 2 = -10
Which are all the correct terms.
I hope this helps!
The expression x-4 will come out to be a negative integer. That means X <em>has to be </em>something that when 4 is taken away from it, the answer is still negative.
Let's try 5.
5-4 is 1. Is 1 negative? No, so that doesn't work.
4-4 is 0. 0 isn't negative either, so that doesn't work.
3-4 is -1. Is -1 negative? YES! Let's try it for 2 as well, just to be safe.
2-4 is -2. Still negative.
X can be anything less than 4.
The correct answer is: <span>D. The regression line is not a good model because the points in the residual plot form a curve. (i know this because i just passed the test ;) )</span>
