In a positive correlation, both variables increase together. An example of this is a company's profit's relationship with its sales. The greater the sales, the greater the profit.
A negative correlation is where one variable decreases with increase in the other. An example is the time taken to reach somewhere and the speed traveled at. The faster you move, the less the time.
No correlation means the two variables are not related. An example of this is as you get older, it does not mean you will get better grades.

Answer:
x = 5, x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Set f(x) = 0 and solve for x.
0 = (x -8)² -9
9 = (x -8)² . . . . . add 9
±√9 = x -8 . . . . . take the square root
±3 +8 = x . . . . . . . add 8
That is, ...
x = 8 -3 = 5 . . . . lesser x
x = 8 +3 = 11 . . . greater x
Let the total amount of pages be t
t=30+1/8t+2/8t
now simplify
t=30+3/8t
5/8t=30
divide 30 by 5
1/8=6
now you know 1/8 of the book is 6 pages which means the whole book has 48 pages.
