B I think but i could be totally wrong
Hey I can help give me one moment .
First put it in decreasing power according to x.
x^4-5x+8+x^2
=x^4+x^2-5x+8
Now this question is asking what is the highest degree of x you see in this function.
4 of course.
Therefore the answer to his question is degree of 4.
Done!
Answer:
Choice A (older trees are generally taller than younger trees)
Step-by-step explanation:
As you increase the x value, the y value tends to increase as well. Choice B is incorrect because the points are clustered together in a linear fashion, showing correlation. Choice C is incorrect because the fact that they are clustered around a line of best fit shows high correlation. Choice D is incorrect because a negative correlation coefficient would mean the y decreases as x increases.
