Answer:

a = 3

b = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient function (y') = ax² + b

curve function (y) = 1/3 ax³ + bx + c  

pass (1,-11) : -11 = 1/3 a + b + c  ..... (1)

pass (2,-16) : -16 = 8/3 a + 2b + c  ..... (2)

slope at (2,-16) is 0 (its tangent parallel to x axis)

at (2 , -16) ax² + b = 0         4a + b = 0         b = -4a   .... (3)

(2) - (1) : -5 = 7/3 a + b = 7/3 a -4a = -5/3 a   ... (4)

3 x (4) : -15 = -5a            a = 3

b = -4a = -4 x 3 = -12

Why is the answer D? Plz explain.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The way we solve inequalities with absolute values is that you take the original equation, and turn it into this:

-10 < |2x-6| < 10


Now we can get rid of the absolute value and solve:

-10 < 2x-6 < 10

-10 + 6

-4 < 2x < 16

-2 < x < 8


So, I got -2 < x < 8, which is obviously not an option. But, since the question asks for the subset, which is just a part of the answer set, the answer is D. Note that -1 < x < 7 falls within -2 < x < 8, and thus, D is the answer.

I don't understand this at all I just need an answer plz

The correlation coefficient has to do with how well the points line up. If they are all on a line with positive slope, the correlation coefficient is 1. If that line has negative slope, the correlation coefficient is -1.

When the points are not on a line, the magnitude of the correlation coefficient is related to how "scattered" the points are. Completely random points that lie on no discernible line have a correlation coefficient of 0.

The given points lie near a line with positive slope, so the correlation coefficient is near 1. The most appropriate choice here is r = 1.

_____

The computed value of the correlation coefficient for this data is 0.968.
