When dealing with numbers, we find the LCM by factoring the numbers, and then choosing all the primes appearing, with the highest exponent possible.

Similarly, we will factor the polynomials first:

$x^4+3x^3 = x^3(x+3)$

$x^2-9 = (x+3)(x-3)$

$x^3+6x^2+9x = x(x^2+6x+9) = x(x+3)^2$

The following factors emerged:

$x,\ x^3$ We will choose $x^3$ because it has the higher exponent
$x-3$
$x+3,\ (x+3)^2$ We will choose $(x+3)^2$ because it has the higher exponent.

So, the LCM is

$x^3(x-3)(x+3)^2$

Some types of algae have the potential to cause damage to river ecosystems. Suppose the accompanying data on algae colony densit

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

$y=-2.95836 x +234.56159$

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that th data is this one:

x: 50, 55, 50, 79, 44, 37, 70, 45, 49

y: 152, 48, 22, 35, 43, 171, 13, 185, 25

a) Compute the equation of the least-squares regression line. (Round your numerical values to five decimal places.)For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

So we can find the sums like this:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =50+ 55+ 50+ 79+ 44+ 37+ 70+ 45+ 49=479$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =152+ 48+ 22+ 35+ 43+ 171+ 13+ 185+ 25=694$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =50^2 + 55^2 + 50^2 + 79^2 + 44^2 + 37^2 + 70^2 + 45^2 + 49^2=26897$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =152^2 + 48^2 + 22^2 + 35^2 + 43^2 + 171^2 + 13^2 + 185^2 + 25^2=93226$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =50*152+ 55*48+ 50*22+ 79*35+ 44*43+ 37*171+ 70*13+ 45*185+ 49*25=32784$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=26897-\frac{479^2}{9}=1403.556$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}=32784-\frac{479*694}{9}=-4152.22$

And the slope would be:

$m=-\frac{-4152.222}{1403.556}=-2.95836$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{479}{9}=53.222$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{694}{9}=77.111$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=77.1111111-(-2.95836*53.22222222)=234.56159$

So the line would be given by:

$y=-2.95836 x +234.56159$

Ok slot method
3 slots
1st slot has 52 options
2nd slot has 51 optoins (1 went to first slot)
3rd slot has 50 options (1 went to previous slot)

number of ways=52*51*50=132600 ways
