Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever you have exponents raised to another exponent, you multiply the exponents!
Answer:
a)
The correlation coefficient for this case is very near to 1 so then we can ensure that we have linear correlation between the two variables
b)
Now we can find the means for x and y like this:
So the line would be given by:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a
The correlation coeffcient is given by this formula:
For our case we have this:
n=4
The correlation coefficient for this case is very near to 1 so then we can ensure that we have linear correlation between the two variables
Part b
Where:
With these we can find the sums:
And the slope would be:
Now we can find the means for x and y like this:
And we can find the intercept using this:
So the line would be given by:
Answer:
net amount $885.98 tax at 8.5% is $75.31 gross amount is $961.29
Step-by-step explanation:

1. -18 +15x = 3(4x-6) + 3x
-18 + 15x = 12x - 18 + 3x
-18 + 3x = -18 + 3x
3x = 3x
x = All Real Numbers (because we don't know what x is since the equation is 3x = 3x, we can assume that it is all "real" numbers)
2. -10 + 5x = 5(x - 3) + 5
-10 + 5x = 5x - 15 + 5
-10 = -10
Answer Undefined (because the x coefficients canceled out, we don't know what x even is, so we can claim it as undefined.)
