Georges asked five of his friends how long they studied for the last math test and what grade they received. he found a linear regression equation for the data to be y = 9.6x + 65.8. what does the 9.6 mean in the context of this equation? a) his friends on average studied 9.6 hours. b) if they studied 9.6 hours they would get a 0 on the test. c) they should study 9.6 hours in order to get an a on the test. eliminate d) for every hour they studied their grade would go up 9.6 points.

then, the surface area of the sphere shown in the image is: 256π sq. units!

step-by-step explanation:

the lateral surface area of a sphere is 2πrh where h=2r.

then:

surface area = 4πr^2.

in this case, r=8 units ⇒ surface area = 4π(8 units)^2. = 256π sq. units!

then, the surface area of the sphere shown in the image is: 256π sq. units!

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
