Answer:

answers C and D are both correct. (I consider D to be "simpler.")

Step-by-step explanation:

By the rules of exponents ...

(a^b)^c = a^(b·c)

Here, we have a=-3, b=2. c=3, so ...

((-3)^2)^3 = (-3)^(2·3) = (-3)^6

___

Consider further that ...

-3 = (-1)(3)

and another rule of exponents tells you ...

(a·b)^c = (a^c)·(b^c)

so our previous simplified result can also be written as ...

(-3)^6 = ((-1)·(3))^6 = (-1)^6·(3)^6 = 1·(3)^6 = (3)^6

_____

I find it hard to tell just how "simplified" your answer key may want the answer to be. Of course, the simplest possible form is 729.

A two-factor study with two levels of factor A and three levels of factor B uses a separate group of n = 5 participants in each

Mashcka [7]

Answer: There are 30 participants are needed for the entire study.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of levels of factor A = 2

Number of levels of factor B = 3

Number of participants in each treatment condition = 5

So, the number of participants are needed for the entire study is given by

$2\times 3\times 5\\\\=6\times 5\\\\=30$

Hence, there are 30 participants are needed for the entire study.

Given (1, -3) and (5, 1). The slope of the line is The equation of the line is

guapka [62]

To find the slope of the line we can use the following formula:

$\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m$

1 - (-3)/5 - 1

4 / 4

<h3>The slope of the line is equal to 1.</h3>

To find the equation, we can just use slope-intercept form.

We already know the slope, so our current equation is y = x

By knowing the slope, we can apply the slope to our lowest pair of coordinates to find the y value when x = 0.

Subtract 1 from the x and y values of (1, -3)

(0, -4) is our new point, and so we know the y-intercept is -4.

<h3>Our equation for the line is y = x - 4</h3>
