<h3>Answer:  x = -2 or x = 7  (choice D)</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

x^2 - 5x = 14

x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0

(x-7)(x+2) = 0 .... this step is further explained below

x-7 = 0 or x+2 = 0

x = 7 or x = -2

The order of the solutions does not matter.

-------------------------

To factor x^2-5x-14, we need to find two numbers that multiply to -14 and add to -5. This is done through trial and error. I recommend making a table to help organize everything. See the diagram below.

After a bit of guess work, you should find that -7 and 2 are the two values we're after

-7 + 2 = -5

-7 * 2 = -14

This is why x^2-5x-14 = (x-7)(x+2)

Solve for the indicated variable. Include all of your work in your answer. Submit your solution. P = 3r + 2s; for s.
madam [21]
<h3>Given</h3>

P = 3r + 2s

<h3>Find</h3>

the corresponding equation for s

<h3>Solution</h3>

First of all, look at how this is evaluated in terms of what happens to a value for s.

  1. s is multiplied by 2
  2. 3r is added to that product

To solve for s, you undo these operations in reverse order. The "undo" for addition is adding the opposite. The "undo" for multiplication is division (or multiplication by the reciprocal).

... P = 3r + 2s . . . . . . starting equation

... P - 3r = 2s . . . . . . -3r is added to both sides to undo addition of 3r

... (P -3r)/2 = s . . . . . both sides are divided by 2 to undo the multiplication

Note that the division is of everything on both sides of the equation. That is why we need to add parentheses around the expression that was on the left—so the whole thing gets divided by 2.

Your solution is ...

... s = (P - 3r)/2

The least squares regression line minimizes the sum of the:
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

d) Squared differences between actual and predicted Y values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression is called "least squares" regression line. The line takes the form = a + b*X where a and b are both constants. Value of Y and X is specific value of independent variable.Such formula could be used to generate values of given value X.

For example,

suppose a = 10 and b = 7. If X is 10, then  predicted value for Y of 45 (from 10 + 5*7). It turns out that with any two variables X and Y. In other words, there exists one formula that will produce the best, or most accurate predictions for Y given X. Any other equation would not fit as well and would predict Y with more error. That equation is called the least squares regression equation.

It minimize the squared difference between actual and predicted value.
