The line of best fit is described by the equation ŷ = bX + a, where b is the slope of the line and a is the intercept (i.e., the value of Y when X = 0). This calculator will determine the values of b and a for a set of data comprising two variables, and estimate the value of Y for any specified value of X.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 1)(ax + b) = 6x² - 5x + c
Expand the left side and put that half into standard form:
2ax² + 2bx + ax + b = 6x² - 5x + c
2ax² + (2b + a)x + b = 6x² - 5x + c
So now look at the x terms. We have "2a" x² on left and 6 x² on right, so:
2a = 6
a = 3
Then look at the x terms, those coefficients will then be equal:
2b + a = -5
2b + 3 = -5
2b = -8
b = -4
and finally, then non-x terms are equal:
b = c
-4 = c
so:
a = 3, b = -4, c = -4
Then second integer is n+2 <--------
n + n + 2 = 24
2n = 22
n = 11
-17/12 want me to explain
