Please help..Brainlest for anyone who'd like to answer..!! Patty’s Parasols recorded the monthly rainfall and their umbrella sales for an entire year. The following table shows the inches of rainfall and the number of umbrellas the store sold each month. The relationship between the inches of rainfall and umbrella sales can be modeled using a linear function. Month Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun. Jul. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec.
Rainfall (in.) 2.5 3.1 4.0 4.3 3.6 2.4 1.2 0.6 1.5 1.4 1.1 2.6
Umbrella sales 132 140 162 170 156 103 98 87 84 78 110 125

(a) Using technology, determine the correlation coefficient for the data to the nearest hundredth. Explain the steps you used.
(b) What does the correlation coefficient for the data indicate about the direction and strength of the linear association between the monthly rainfall and the number of umbrellas sold?

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.

step-by-step explanation:

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct

1. 523.33 cubic inches

2. 113.04 cubic inches.

3. 17.41.

4. 16.49

i think this should be your answer

hope i
