Answer: =(x - 1) x (x^2 + x + 1)
You could get two different functions out of this:
<u>2x + 2y = 8</u>
1). <u> 'y' as a function of 'x'</u>
Subtract 2x from each side: 2y = -2x + 8
Divide each side by 2 : <em> y = -x + 4</em>
2). <u> 'x' as a function of 'y' :</u>
Subtract 2y from each side: 2x = -2y + 8
Divide each side by 2 : <em> x = -y + 4</em>
Those two functions look the same, but that's just because the original
equation given in the problem was so symmetrical. In general, they're
not the same function.

Answer:
The hypotheses used in this situation


Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Business Week reported that at the top 50 business schools, students studied an average of 14.6 hours.
Mean = 
Claim : The amount UMSL students study is different from this 14.6 hour benchmark.
The hypotheses used in this situation


That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
