It is not always important. In chemistry, for example, you would never reduce C2H2 (acytelene) and C6H6 (benzene) to CH.

How can you determine whether a polynomial equation has imaginary solutions?

To determine whether a polynomial equation has imaginary solutions, you must first identify what type of equation it is. If it is a quadratic equation, you can use the quadratic formula to solve for the solutions. If the equation is a cubic or higher order polynomial, you can use the Rational Root Theorem to determine if there are any imaginary solutions. The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial equation has rational solutions, they must be a factor of the constant term divided by a factor of the leading coefficient. If there are no rational solutions, then the equation has imaginary solutions. To use the Rational Root Theorem, first list out all the possible rational solutions. Then, plug each possible rational solution into the equation and see if it is a solution. If there are any solutions, then the equation has imaginary solutions. If not, then there are no imaginary solutions.

Can A regression equation have a negative coefficient of correlation and a negative coefficient of determination?

It's not quite possible for the coefficient of determination to be negative at all, because of its definition as r2 (coefficient of correlation squared). The coefficient of determination is useful since tells us how accurate the regression line's predictions will be but it cannot tell us which direction the line is going since it will always be a positive quantity even if the correlation is negative. On the other hand, r (the coefficient of correlation) gives the strength and direction of the correlation but says nothing about the regression line equation. Both r and r2 are found similarly but they are typically used to tell us different things.

What is the difference between coefficient and parameter?

In an algebraic expression (or equation), a coefficient is the numerical multiplier for a term. If the coefficient is, itself, a variable, then it is a parameter. For example, the equation of a straight line in 2-d is y = mx + c where x and y are the coordinate variables, m is the parameter which defines the slope, and c is the parameter which defines the y-intercept. Different values of m will give a set of lines with the same intercept, whereas different values of c will give a set of lines with the slope. Varying both, together, will generate all possible lines. By contrast, in the equation y = 2x + 5, 2 is the coefficient of x and 5 is the constant [coefficient]. They are specific values of the parameter whic define a specific line.
