X-y=. 2-3=-1

x(y)=. 2(3)=6

x+y= 2+3= 5

x/y= 2/3= 0.66......

Therefore, x-y has the smallest value, that is -1.

Answer:

x - y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the first expression is negative:

2 - 3 = -1

All of the other expressions give positive values, so are larger.

The expression with the smallest value is x-y.

_____

If x(y) is supposed to mean x^y, the exponentiation operator is needed. Otherwise, it is interpreted as x·y.

∫x(x-6)³dx by using substitution u=x-6

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\int\bigg(x(x-6)^3\bigg)dx=\dfrac{1}{5}(x-6)^5+\dfrac{3}{2}(x-6)^4+C}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\int\bigg(x(x-6)^3\bigg)dx\Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x-6=u\\x=u+6\\dx=du\end{array}\right]\Rightarrow\int\bigg((u+6)u^3\bigg)du\\\\=\int(u^4+6u^3)du=\dfrac{1}{5}u^5+\dfrac{6}{4}u^4+C=\dfrac{1}{5}(x-6)^5+\dfrac{3}{2}(x-6)^4+C$

What is the answer to this question? Write an expression in simplest form for the perimeter of a right triangle with leg lengths

blagie [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of both legs of the right angle triangle are given, we would determine the hypotenuse, h by applying Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = one leg² + other leg²

Therefore,

h² = (3a)³ + (4a)³

h² = 27a³ + 64a³

h² = 91a³

Taking square root of both sides,

h = √91a³

The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is expressed as

Perimeter = a + b + c

a, b and c are the side length of the triangle. Therefore, the expression for the perimeter of the right angle triangle is

√91a³ + (3a)³ + (4a)³

= √91a³ + 91a³

Interpret the regression coefficients. Fill in the blanks below.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

With the information given in the question, the blank spaces are filled thus:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The intercept is the estimated amount of a purchase, if time spent viewing the online catalog was zero minutes.

2. The slope coefficient is the estimate of amount that a purchase charges/changes, for one extra minute spent viewing the online catalog.

3. The proportion of total variation in purchases that can be explained by variation in the minutes spent viewing an online catalog is equal to the coefficient of determination.

4. The p-value is the probability value

5. Reject the null hypothesis if there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the regression slope coefficient is not equal to zero.

NOTE: In the case of number 5, the assumption is that;

Null Hypothesis: The regression slope coefficient = 0

Alternative Hypothesis: The regression slope coefficient ≠ 0

Other answers require numerical information and full data, in order to be computed or calculated.

50 people are selected randomly from a certain population and it is found that 12 people in the sample are over 6 feet tall. wha

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The point estimate of the proportion of people over 6ft to total people is 6:25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, simply start with the number of people over 6 ft and total people as a proportion.

12:50

Then simplify by dividing by 2

6:25
