Answer:

6.33... and 0.333...

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is

$x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ .

It is important because while some quadratics are factorable and can be solved not all are. The formula will solve all quadratic equations and can also give both real and imaginary solutions. Using the formula will require less work than finding the factors if factorable. We will substitute a=9, b=-54 and c=-19.

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-54)+/-\sqrt{(-54)^2-4(9)(-19)} }{2(9)}\\x=\frac{54+/-\sqrt{2916+684} }{18}$

We will now solve for the plus and the minus.

The plus,,,

$x=\frac{54+\sqrt{3600}}{18}\\x=\frac{54+60}{18}\\x=\frac{114}{18}\\x=6.3$

and the minus...

$x=\frac{54-\sqrt{3600}}{18}\\x=\frac{54-60}{18}\\x=\frac{-6}{18}\\x=-0.333...$

8 goes to 6 that’s -2 then goes back to 8 then goes to 7 that’s -1 add -1 and -2 and you get -3 but you add it like before so it’s 7 to 10 so then it’s 10 -4 to 6 then goes back to 10 to where you add 4 to get 14

The very first thing to do in every correlation activity is to plot the gathered data points in a scatter plot. It is better to use software tools like MS Excel because they have a feature there that uses linear regression like that one shown in the picture.

Once you plot the data points, make a trendline. You are given with options. If you want a linear function, then you will have a linear model with a function equation of y = 0.2907x + 2.2643. It has a correlation coefficient of 0.9595. That's a strong correlation already. The R² value tells how good your model fits the data points. If you want to increase the R², a better model would be a quadratic function with the equation, y = -0.0209x²+0.506x+2.0232. As you can see the R² increase even more to 0.9992.
