Answer: Choice C
Amy is correct because a nonlinear association could increase along the whole data set, while being steeper in some parts than others. The scatterplot could be linear or nonlinear.
======================================================
Explanation:
Just because the data points trend upward (as you go from left to right), it does not mean the data is linearly associated.
Consider a parabola that goes uphill, or an exponential curve that does the same. Both are nonlinear. If we have points close to or on these nonlinear curves, then we consider the scatterplot to have nonlinear association.
Also, you could have points randomly scattered about that don't fit either of those two functions, or any elementary math function your teacher has discussed so far, and yet the points could trend upward. If the points are not close to the same straight line, then we don't have linear association.
-----------------
In short, if the points all fall on the same line or close to it, then we have linear association. Otherwise, we have nonlinear association of some kind.
Joseph's claim that an increasing trend is not enough evidence to conclude the scatterplot is linear or not.
Y=-3x+8 by using slope intercept form
In mathematics there is a rule of exponents where we can "distribute" the powers/exponents in the numerator and denominator of any expression. Therefore, given an expression as
, the exponent n can be "distributed" as:
.
In our case, the power, n=11; a=7 and b=4. Thus, the expression
, can be written as
.
Thus, out of the given options, option A is the correct option.
Lets see together how it gets done
120 180
160 200
200 220
240 240
so the answer is 3 months
Answer:
514 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Just simply use the pythagorean thereom:
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
put in the values of a, b, and c with the side lengths of the triangle:
x feet, 64 feet, and x+4 feet
x^2 +64^2 = (x+4)^2 , thus x =510
the hypotenuse = x+4 feet = 510 + 4 = 514
ANSWER: 514 feet
