P^-4 x -5p

In properties of exponents, if the exponent is negative then you move the variable with the negative exponent to the denominators place and it changes to positive and the numerator becomes 1.

p^-4=1/(p^4)

Also, if no exponent is present it is understood to be 1.

Keeping this in mind,
p^-4 x -5p
1/(p^4) x -5p^1 substituted p^-4 by 1/p^4 and added ^1 to -5p
-5p^1/p^4 multiplied-5p^1 to 1
-5/p^3 simplified

Consider the following data points.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

the equation of the least-squares line for the data is: $\hat Y=9.3+1.3x$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a simple linear regression model, such as, $\hat Y=b_0+b_1x$ , the coefficients bo and b1 are estimated through the method of least squares by the use of the equations:

$b_1=\frac{S{xy}}{S_x^2}\\\\b_0=\bar{y}+b_1 \bar{x}$

For the data provided you have to:

$S_{xy}=\frac{\sum {(x_i-\bar x)(y_i-\bar y)}}{n-1}=3.25\\\\S_x^2=\frac{\sum {(x_i-\bar x)^2}}{n-1}=2.5\\\\\bar y=5.4$ , thus:

$b_1=\frac{3.25}{2,5}=1.3\\\\b_0=5.4+1.3(3.0)=9.3$

the equation of the least-squares line for the data is:

$Y=9.3+1.3x$

Find an equation of the line that (a) has y-intercept of -8 and (b) is parallel to the line 6 x − 1 y = 7 6x-1y=7 . Write your a

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is:

$\:y=6x-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is

$y\:=\:mx\:+\:b$

As y intercept is -8, we have

$y\:=\:mx\:-8$

Since the line is parallel to $6x-y=7$ , then it has the same slope.

Let's put this equation in $y\:=\:mx\:+\:b$ form and find the slope

$6x-y=7$

$y=6x-7$

Thus, the slope is :

$m = 6$

Now we can finish the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form

$y\:=\:mx\:+\:b$

$\:y=6x-8$ ∵ $m = 6$ , b = -8

Therefore, the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is:

$\:y=6x-8$

Each day, Karen makes 45 loaves of bread at the bakery where she works. Each loaf of bread requires 5 cups of flour. One pound o

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer: 5cups of flour = 1 loaf of bread

45 loaves of bread multiplied by 5 cups of four = 225 cups of flour to make 45 loaves of bread.

225 cups of flour divided by 4 = 56.25 pounds of flour.
