Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Because A categorical variable can bexpressed as a number when statistical evaluation is intended, However, these numbers do not mean the same as a numerical value e.g giving numbers to waist sizes, test scores, grade level etc

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the form of the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression:

We have:

$\mathbf{\dfrac{8x-4}{x(x^2+1)^2}= \dfrac{A}{x}+\dfrac{Bx+C}{x^2+1}+\dfrac{Dx+E}{(x^2+1)^2}}$

Using partial fraction decomposition to find the definite integral of:

$\dfrac{2x^3-16x^2-39x+20}{x^2-8x-20}dx$

By using the long division method; we have:

$x^2-8x-20 | \dfrac{2x}{2x^3-16x^2-39x+20 }$

$- 2x^3 -16x^2-40x$

$x+ 20$

So;

$\dfrac{2x^3-16x^2-39x+20}{x^2-8x-20}= 2x+\dfrac{x+20}{x^2-8x-20}$

By using partial fraction decomposition:

$\dfrac{x+20}{(x-10)(x+2)}= \dfrac{A}{x-10}+\dfrac{B}{x+2}$

$= \dfrac{A(x+2)+B(x-10)}{(x-10)(x+2)}$

x + 20 = A(x + 2) + B(x - 10)

x + 20 = (A + B)x + (2A - 10B)

Now; we have to relate like terms on both sides; we have:

A + B = 1 ; 2A - 10 B = 20

By solvong the expressions above; we have:

$A = \dfrac{5}{2}$ $B = \dfrac{3}{2}$

Now;

$\dfrac{x+20}{(x-10)(x+2)} = \dfrac{5}{2(x-10)} + \dfrac{3}{2(x+2)}$

Thus;

$\dfrac{2x^3-16x^2-39x+20}{x^2-8x-20}= 2x + \dfrac{5}{2(x-10)}+ \dfrac{3}{2(x+2)}$

Now; the integral is:

$\int \dfrac{2x^3-16x^2-39x+20}{x^2-8x-20} \ dx = \int \begin {bmatrix} 2x + \dfrac{5}{2(x-10)}+ \dfrac{3}{2(x+2)} \end {bmatrix} \ dx$

$\mathbf{\int \dfrac{2x^3-16x^2-39x+20}{x^2-8x-20} \ dx = x^2 + \dfrac{5}{2}In | x-10|\dfrac{3}{2} In |x+2|+C}$
