Answer:
Solution
p = {-3, 1}
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
p2 + 2p + -3 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 2p + p2 = 0
Solving
-3 + 2p + p2 = 0
Solving for variable 'p'.
Factor a trinomial.
(-3 + -1p)(1 + -1p) = 0
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-3 + -1p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-3 + -1p = 0
Solving
-3 + -1p = 0
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + -1p = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -1p = 0 + 3
-1p = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-1p = 3
Divide each side by '-1'.
p = -3
Simplifying
p = -3
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -1p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
1 + -1p = 0
Solving
1 + -1p = 0
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1p = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1p = 0 + -1
-1p = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1p = -1
Divide each side by '-1'.
p = 1
Simplifying
p = 1
Solution
p = {-3, 1}
Answer:
Here is one idea:
You can use a regression line to predict what will happen at a time not given by your data. You can use it to make predictions about future times.
Here is another one:
The equation for the regression line or even the graph of can tell us if the data is increasing as we move through future times or if it is decreasing as we move through future times.
Try to come up with one of your own so you can have three. :)
