Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the regression equation
predicts an adult’s height (y) given the individual’s mother’s height (x1), his or her father’s height (x2), and whether the individual is male (x3 = 1) or female (x3 = 0).
The coefficient of x1 = 0.32 represents the increase in height of the child due to one inch increase in mother.
Similarly coefficient of x2 = 0.42 represents the increase in height of the child due to one inch increase in father.
and coefficient of x3 = 5.31 represents the increase in height of the child due to being a male than a female.
because y^3 is raised to the power of two, we will have to multiply the exponents rather than adding them.
By distributing the power of 2, we will get y^2(6).
Because now the exponents are being multiplied, we can just add them to get y^8. The other y has a power of 1, so we'll just add the power of that y as well to get y^9.
summary:
multiply exponents if they are being raised to a power.
add exponents if they are being multiplied, and only add them if they have the same base (in this case, both the bases of the exponents are y, so we can add them)
