Question

Why is it that the answer in this question is E?

Data were collected on two variables, and y, to create a model to predict y from a. A scatterplot of the collected
data revealed a curved pattern with a possible cubic relationship (y = ar³, where a is a constant) between the
variables. Which of the following transformations would be most appropriate for creating linearity between the
variables?
(A) Taking the cube of y
(B) Taking the cube root of y
(C) Taking the cube root of both y and a
(D) Taking the log of y
(E) Taking the log of both y and a
