Based on the data, the most likely correlation coefficient would be -1.
The slope between 20 and 30 days is -1, and it represents the change in the surface area of the lake per day.
The data represents correlation, not causation.

Since the data would form a perfectly straight line through the points, the correlation coefficient would be -1 for a perfect decreasing fit.
To find the slope, find the change in the surface area between those days, the change in the days, and write it as surface area/days:  80-90=-10; 30-20=10; -10/10=-1
This is not causation because there could be lurking variables we cannot see.

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length , a, that are longer than the length of the base , b. The perimeter of the
Sholpan [36]
We are give the equation of the perimeter of the triangle as follows:
2a + b = 15.7 
where b represents the base.

Now, if we want to calculate the length of the base, all we have to do is isolate the b in one side of the equation as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2a

We know that a = 6.3 cm, therefore, the length of the base can be calculated as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2(6.3) = 3.1 cm

Select the correct answer.
Naddik [55]
You use the FOIL method, and how you do this is -

(x - 7) (x + 8)

Multiply the first x by both numbers in the second factor. Which means, you multiply x by x and 8, the two in (x + 8).

With this, you get -
x^2 + 8x

Then do the same thing with -7.

-7x - 56

Then combine the two.
x^2 + 8x - 7x - 56

Combine like terms.

x^2 + x - 56

So now, 7 x 8 is 56
And -7 + 8 would be 1. And that is the value of “x” which is b in the form a^2x + bx + c.

Now with this, you take those two numbers and make the factors =
(x + 8) (x - 7)

Then you set these equal to 0.

x + 8 = 0

Subtract the 8 from both sides.

x = -8

————

x - 7 = 0

Add the 7 on both sides.

x = 7
