X² + xy - 2x - 2y
The first thing would be to break the polynomial up into pairs.
(x² + xy) + (-2x -2y)
Then you can factor them individually.
(x² + xy)
Both numbers have x in common, so you can factor it out and get
x(x + y)
Then you factor the other pair,
(-2x -2y)
Both numbers have -2 in them, so you can factor it out and get
-2(x + y)
Now your two pairs are
[x (x + y)] and [-2 (x + y)]
Notice that the two terms in parentheses are the same, so you can get rid of one and combine the two outside terms to get a final answer of
(x - 2)(x + y)
That "ad^3" bothers me; I'm not sure what you mean here.
I'm going to assume that you have (1/4*a*d^3)^2.
If that's the case, then you have (1/4)^2 * a^2 * d^6 = (1/16)*a^2*d^6.
If this is not what you were hoping for, double check to ensure that you have copied down this problem exactly as it was presented.
Answer:
Statistical sampling is drawing a set of observations randomly from a population distribution. ... By repeating the sampling operation a large number of times, perhaps 1000, we decrease the sampling error and increase the quality of the estimates.
The slope would be -5 over 7
