Answer:
y = 3.02x^3 -5.36x^2 +5.68x +8.66
Step-by-step explanation:
Your graphing calculator (or other regression tool) can solve this about as quickly as you can enter the numbers. If you have a number of regression formulas to work out, it is a good idea to become familiar with at least one tool for doing so.

If you're trying to do this by hand, the x- and y-values give you 4 equations in the 4 unknown coefficients.
a·1^3 +b·1^2 +c·1 +d = 12
a·3^3 +b·3^2 +c·3 +d = 59
a·6^3 +b·6^2 +c·6 +d = 502
a·8^3 +b·8^2 +c·8 +d = 1257
Solving this by elimination, substitution, or matrix methods is tedious, but not impossible. Calculators and web sites can help. The solutions are a = 317/105, b = -75/14, c = 1193/210, d = 303/35. Approximations to these values are shown above.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
C is the answer because a1=7 , d=-4 and so it's
an=an+(n-1)d
Answer:
Option B:
Classification:
The hypothesis test is Two-tailed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this country is 22.1 months.
This means that the null hypothesis is that the mean is of 22.1 months, that is:
A hypothesis test is to be performed to determine whether the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this city differs from the national mean of 22.1 months.
At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this mean is different of 22.1, that is:
Which means that the answer is given by option b).
Which of the following is the correct classification of the hypothesis test?
We test if the mean is different from a value, which means that the hypothesis test is Two-tailed.
Answer:
(x - 3)(x + 1)(x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd use synthetic division instead. If we were to find the roots of the given polynomial, we could from them write the factors as well.
The divisor x + 5 corresponds to root x = -5. Setting up synthetic div.,
-5 ) 1 3 -13 -15
-5 10 +15
-----------------------------
1 -2 -3 0
Since the remainder is 0, we know that -5 is a root and (x + 5) is a factor. Moreover, we know that the coefficients of the quotient are 1, -2 and -3.
1x² - 2x - 3 can be factored: the factors are (x - 3) and (x + 1).
So the end result for this problem is (x - 3)(x + 1)(x + 5).
The tank fills to 16 gallons of water as a maximum. After that it would start overflowing.
