<h3>Answer: Choice A) -10.73</h3>

Work Shown:

Plug x = 4.3 into the equation given

ŷ = 2.6 − 3.1x

ŷ = 2.6 − 3.1(4.3)

ŷ = 2.6 − 13.33

ŷ = -10.73

Note: The symbol ŷ is read as "y hat". It's used to estimate the y value when it comes to regression equations.

X^2 -3x + 0 = 0 Factor and solve

Luda [366]

So if you subtract the 0 out from the left side, the equation is now $x^{2}-3x=0$ . Since a x is common in both of the terms on the left side, you can factor it out, now making the equation look like $x(x-3)=0$ . When factoring, each of the separate things (x and (x-3)), must equal zero while the other one doesn't matter. So in order for the equation to be 0, the only potential options for x is 0 and 3. Therefore x=0 and x=3 are the two solutions

Caden states that n^2 +3n + 2n is an equivalent expression to 6n. Why is Caden's statement incorrect?

malfutka [58]

$\begin{gathered} \text{The simplification of n}^2+3n+2n\text{ is:} \\ i)n^2+5n \\ By\text{ collecting common term, this can be written in form of:} \\ ii)\text{ n(n+5)} \end{gathered}$

Thus, options A and D hold, from the simplifications above.

Let's consider the validity of the remaining options provided.

$\begin{gathered} \text{For option B)} \\ \text{substitute for n=1 into the expression n}^2+3n+2n,\text{ we have} \\ 1^2+3(1)+2(1)=1+3+2=6 \\ \text{substitute for n=1 into the expression 6n, we have} \\ 6(1)=6 \\ \text{Thus, the expression n}^2+3n+2n\text{ is equivalent to 6n, for n=1} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \text{For option C)} \\ \text{The expression n}^2+3n+2n\text{ does not simplify to 7n} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \text{For option E)} \\ \text{substitute for n=4 into the expression n}^2+3n+2n,\text{ we have:} \\ 4^2+3(4)+2(4)=16+12+8=36 \\ \text{substitute for n=6 into the expression 6n, we have:} \\ 6(4)=24 \\ \text{Thus, the two(2) expressions are not equivalent to each other, for n=4} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \text{For option F)} \\ \text{substitute for n=3 into the expression n}^2+3n+2n,\text{ we have:} \\ 3^2+3(3)+2(3)=9+9+6=24 \\ \text{substitute for n=3 into the expression 6n, we have:} \\ 6(3)=18 \\ \text{Thus, the two(2) expressions are not equivalent to each other, for n=3} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the correct options that apply are options A, D, E and F
