Answer:
Correct statement: (a) and (b).
Step-by-step explanation:
R-squared is a statistical quantity that measures, just how near the values are to the fitted regression line. It is also known as the coefficient of determination.
The coefficient of determination is the squared value of the correlation coefficient.
That is,

The correlation coefficient between two variables is the measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
Its values ranges from -1.00 to +1.00.
Although <em>r</em> can be negative but R² is always positive, since square of a negative number is also positive.
So the correct statements are:
a. cannot be negative
b. is the square root of the coefficient of correlation

Answer:
y2= 2x-4
y3=6x-1
y4= x-1
y5=2x
Step-by-step explanation:
for y=2x-1
1) for a vertical translation down of 3 units
y2= y-3 =(2x-1)-3= 2x-4
y2= 2x-4
2) for a slope increased by 4
y3= y+ 4x = 2x-1 +4x = 6x-1
y3=6x-1
3) for sloped divided in half. slope of y : m=2 → slope of y4=2/2 =1
y4= x-1
4) shifted up (vertical translation) of 1 unit
y5= y+1 = 2x-1+1=2x
y5=2x
To get the points at which the two boats meet we need to find the equations that model their movement:
Boat A:
vertex form of the equation is given by:
f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
where:
(h,k) is the vertex, thus plugging our values we shall have:
f(x)=a(x-0)^2+5
f(x)=ax^2+5
when x=-10, y=0 thus
0=100a+5
a=-1/20
thus the equation is:
f(x)=-1/20x^2+5
Boat B
slope=(4-0)/(10+10)=4/20=1/5
thus the equation is:
1/5(x-10)=y-4
y=1/5x+2
thus the points where they met will be at:
1/5x+2=-1/20x^2+5
solving for x we get:
x=-10 or x=6
when x=-10, y=0
when x=6, y=3.2
Answer is (6,3.2)
