If they're integers, that means they can't be fractions (such as 15/2 and 2).
So the only couples of integers that, when multiplied, result in 15 are:
1 and 15
5 and 3.
(there are no other possibilities as both 5 and 3 are not divisible further).
The smaller of the two sums (15+1; 5+3) is 5+3=8.
The least possible sum of a and b is 8.
Answer:
(a) moment generating function for X is 
(b) 
Step-by step explanation:
Given X represents the number on die.
The possible outcomes of X are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
For a fair die, 
(a) Moment generating function can be written as
.



(b) Now, find
using moment generating function




Hence, (a) moment generating function for X is
.
(b) 
For this equation its the same as simplifying any other equation -Simplify both sides of the equation then isolate the variable- Easy then once you've do so the answer should be
<u>x =
</u>
In the inverse we replace the place of x by y .
![g(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} - 3 \\ \\ x = \sqrt[3]{y} - 3 \\ \sqrt[3]{y} = x + 3 \\ y = {(x + 3)}^{3} \\ y = {(x + 3)}^{2} (x + 3) \\ y = ({x}^{2} + 6x + 9)(x + 3) \\ \\ y = {x}^{3} + 6 {x}^{2} + 9x + 3 {x}^{2} + 18x + 27 \\ \\ y = {x}^{3} + 9 {x}^{2} + 27x + 27 \\ \\ \\ g(x)^{ - 1} = {x}^{3} + 9 {x}^{2} + 27x + 27](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=g%28x%29%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%20%20-%203%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20x%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7By%7D%20%20-%203%20%5C%5C%20%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7By%7D%20%20%3D%20x%20%2B%203%20%5C%5C%20y%20%3D%20%20%7B%28x%20%2B%203%29%7D%5E%7B3%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20y%20%3D%20%20%7B%28x%20%2B%203%29%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%28x%20%2B%203%29%20%5C%5C%20y%20%3D%20%20%28%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%2B%206x%20%2B%209%29%28x%20%2B%203%29%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20%20y%20%3D%20%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B3%7D%20%20%2B%206%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%2B%209x%20%2B%203%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%2B%2018x%20%2B%2027%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20y%20%3D%20%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B3%7D%20%20%2B%209%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%2B%2027x%20%2B%2027%20%5C%5C%20%20%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20g%28x%29%5E%7B%20-%201%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B3%7D%20%20%2B%209%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%2B%2027x%20%2B%2027%20)
I hope I helped you^_^
You put the -16 - 7 in parenthesis and then the 4 infront of that. So the equation will look like 4(-16 - 7) = -92
