A scientist is interested in investigated the relationship between Time and the Amount of Bacteria for the scatterplot shown below.

Scatterplot of Bacteria vs Hours

a. Describe the scatterplot above.

b. Sketch and describe in a sentence or two how the residual plot might look for this data.

c. Use your answers from a, and b. above to describe the type of transformation needed to make this form appear

linear. Explain how you arrived at your solution.

the answer is d

the answer is in the first quadrant, which make the y-int positive.

since the dots are going down, therefore the correlation is negative

i hope it is right.

a

step-by-step explanation:

(0.2)+(-8)=0.3+-3+0.3m is the equation i guess? ?

step-by-step explanation:

let f (x ) is a function and c be a positive real number,   the graph of the function g (x ) = f (cx ) is represented as follows.

when, c > 1,   the function compresses it in the x - direction.

when, 0 < c < 1, the function stretches it.

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2.

the heighest power of x in g ( x ) = (9x )2 is 2, so the parent function is square function.

the equation of parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2 and the parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

so, the functions f and g have the following relationship.

g ( x ) = f ( 9x ).

compare the function g ( x ) = f ( 9x ) with g (x ) = f (cx ).

c = 9 ( > 1 ).

so, the function g (x ) = (9x )2 compresses it in the x - direction.
