The bases were not the same when the exponents were set equal to each other.
16 should have been written as 4 squared.
The exponent on the right should be 4a instead of 8a.
The correct solution is a=-3/4.
The area would be 112 feet
The circumference would be 46feet
<span>Given that A
dataset shows that, on average, smokers do not live as long as
nonsmokers and heavy smokers do not live as long as light smokers.
If
you compute the least squares line for y = age at time of death and x =
number of packets per day typically smoked, you will notice that as the number of packets per day a person smokes increases, the age at time of death of the person decreases.
Thus, the graph wil have a negative slope.
Therefore, the slope of your
regression line will be less than 0.</span>
No 11.473 is greater then 11.447
