That funky circle in the middle is the composition of the function. It asks you to take a function as an input and to yield an output that's another function. It's one of the five function operations, along with adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.
When you compose, you might find the notation w(u(x)) easier to understand. It's saying evaluate u then evaluate w.
For our functions, the compositions are:
u(w(x)) = u(2x²) = -(2x²) - 2 = -2x² - 2
w(u(x)) = w(-x - 2) = 2(-x - 2)² = 2(x² + 4x + 4) = =2x²+ 8x +8
Now we evaluate each composition at 4.
u(w(4)) = -2(4²) - 2 = -2(16) - 2 = -32 -2 = -34
w(u(4)) = -2(2²) +8(2) + 8 = -2(4) + 16 + 8 = -8 + 16 + 8 = 16.
Thus, u(w(4)) = -34 and w(u(4)) = 16.
Answer:
C) The Spearman correlation results should be reported because at least one of the variables does not meet the distribution assumption required to use Pearson correlation.
Explanation:
The following multiple choice responses are provided to complete the question:
A) The Pearson correlation results should be reported because it shows a stronger correlation with a smaller p-value (more significant).
B) The Pearson correlation results should be reported because the two variables are normally distributed.
C) The Spearman correlation results should be reported because at least one of the variables does not meet the distribution assumption required to use Pearson correlation.
D) The Spearman correlation results should be reported because the p-value is closer to 0.0556.
Further Explanation:
A count variable is discrete because it consists of non-negative integers. The number of polyps variable is therefore a count variable and will most likely not be normally distributed. Normality of variables is one of the assumptions required to use Pearson correlation, however, Spearman's correlation does not rest upon an assumption of normality. Therefore, the Spearman correlation would be more appropriate to report because at least one of the variables does not meet the distribution assumption required to use Pearson correlation.

Answer: electricity can be used to create magnetism
Step-by-step explanation:
4x=-3y+17 becomes 4x+3y=17
4x+3y=17
3x-4y=-6
alrighty
elimination
muliply first equation by 4 and 2nd by 3 and add them
16x+12y=68
9x-12y=-18
add them
25x+0y=50
25x=50
idivide both sides by 25
x=2
sub back
3x-4y=-6
3(2)-4y=-6
6-4y=-6
-4y=-12
y=3
