Answer:

D They must have common denominators.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational expressions are fractions formed by two polynomials, one in the numerator and other in the denominator.

The numerator is the polynomial that is at the top of the fraction and denominator is the polynomial that is at the bottom of the fraction.

To add any fractions it is necessary that they have the same denominator, this applies to rational expressions, to add them it is required that they have the same polynomial in the denominator.

Ten pairs of data yield r = 0.003 and the regression equation =2+3x Also, the mean = 5 What is the best predicted value of y for

Olenka [21]

Answer:

$\hat y(2)=2 +3(2) =8$

C 8.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the linear model y=mx+b where m is the slope and b the intercept.

For this case the slope with the following formula:

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

Where:

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

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

$b=\bar y -m \bar x$

After the calculations we see that m=3 and b=2 from the info given by the linear model.

For this case we have the equation obtained by least squares given by:

$\hat y =2 +3x$

Where 2 represent the intercept and 3 the slope. We are interested on the best predicted value of y when x=2.

If we see our linear model we have the equation in terms of y and x. So we can replace directly the value of x=2 into the equation and see what we got:

$\hat y(2)=2 +3(2) =8$
