The correct answer for the best line of fit is C: y = 1/3x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

So our goal here is to find the best equation that matches the line of fit.

So right away we can already eliminate two of the options because in the scatter point it shows that the starting y-intercept is 12 and two of the options have a y-intercept of 15. So we are able to tell that Option B and Option D isn't the equation for the lien of fit.

Now we are left with Option A and Option C, which both have a y-intercept of 12. To find the right equation that best matches the line of fit we look at the slope. Option A has a slope of 3x while Option C has a slope of 1/3x, to tell what slope the line of has we applied both option's slope and see which one matches it.

When we match Option A's slope which is 3x it doesn't match because a slope of 3x is going first going up the y-axis 3 times then moving through the x-axis 1 time. Which would had made the line of fit more steep.

Next we match Option C's slope which is 1/3x this slope matches the line of fit because in the scatter plot it clearly shows it going up 1 time on the y=axis and 3 times through the x-axis. Which made the line of fit not that steep.

So the correct answer to this question is C: y = 1/3x+12.

Here a picture of the line of fit if it has a slope of 3x.

solution:

the given function is ,

$f(x) = 4 x^3 - 72 x^2 + 320 x,$

= $4x( x^2- 18 x + 80)\\\\ 4 x(x^2-10 x -8 x + 80) \\\\ 4 x[(x-10)(x-8)]$

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

$f(x) = a x^3+ b x^2 + c x+d,$

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18= $\frac{-b}{a}$

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 = $\frac{c}{a}$

product of roots = a b c = 0= $\frac{d}{a}$

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function $f(x) = 4 x^3 - 72 x^2 + 320 x,$ is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
