Which transformation of the weight of the giraffes may
also linearize the relationship between weight and
height?
O Take the cube root of the weights.
O Cube the weights.
O Take the square root of the weights.
O Square the weights.

Answer 1

To linearize the relationship between weight and height of giraffes, where the weight is proportional to the height squared, the square root of the weights should be taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about transforming the weight of giraffes to linearize the relationship between weight and height. Given that the weight is directly proportional to the square of the height (since weight is proportional to the square of the gravitational force), the appropriate transformation would be to take the square root of the weights. This transformation will linearize the relationship because if w = h2, then √ w = h, which is a linear relationship.
