Answer:
Option E is correct.
- Treatments: how the peppermint oil is dispersed
- Experimental unit: mice
- Response variable: number of mice in the dwellings
Step-by-step explanation:
The treatments in this type of statistical experiment refers to the part of the experiment that is tweaked, controlled or varied in the cases being studied. In this experiment, the method of essential oil dispersal is what is varied in the two experimental cases of this study.
Experimental Unit refers to the subject matters, who are participants in the experiment. They are the ones that the effect of the treatments is tested upon.
For this study, the experimental units are the mice subjected to either of the two methods of peppermint oil dispersal.
The response variable is how the experimental units (participants) respond to the treatments (experimental tweaks). Or how the tweaks manifest observable results in the participants of the study. For this study, the effect of the tweaks in the mice is shown in the number of mice that remain in each dwelling (where the two methods of peppermint oil dispersal have been implemented). Hence, the response variable is the number of mice in each dwelling.

First we'll do two basic steps. Step 1 is to subtract 18 from both sides. After that, divide both sides by 2 to get x^2 all by itself. Let's do those two steps now
2x^2+18 = 10
2x^2+18-18 = 10-18 <<--- step 1
2x^2 = -8
(2x^2)/2 = -8/2 <<--- step 2
x^2 = -4
At this point, it should be fairly clear there are no solutions. How can we tell? By remembering that x^2 is never negative as long as x is real.
Using the rule that negative times negative is a positive value, it is impossible to square a real numbered value and get a negative result.
For example
2^2 = 2*2 = 4
8^2 = 8*8 = 64
(-10)^2 = (-10)*(-10) = 100
(-14)^2 = (-14)*(-14) = 196
No matter what value we pick, the result is positive. The only exception is that 0^2 = 0 is neither positive nor negative.
So x^2 = -4 has no real solutions. Taking the square root of both sides leads to
x^2 = -4
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-4)
|x| = sqrt(4)*sqrt(-1)
|x| = 2*i
x = 2i or x = -2i
which are complex non-real values
-7 - 7( 8x - 7 ) = -19 + 5x
⇔ -56x + 49 = -12 + 5x
⇔ -61x = -61
⇔ x = 1
The number could be any multiple of nine that ends in 4 or 9, like 9, 54, 99, 144, etc.
