because y^3 is raised to the power of two, we will have to multiply the exponents rather than adding them.
By distributing the power of 2, we will get y^2(6).
Because now the exponents are being multiplied, we can just add them to get y^8. The other y has a power of 1, so we'll just add the power of that y as well to get y^9.
summary:
multiply exponents if they are being raised to a power.
add exponents if they are being multiplied, and only add them if they have the same base (in this case, both the bases of the exponents are y, so we can add them)
Answer:
x+y/4 = 1/2
x-3y/3 = 2
move variables to one side:
multiply the first equation by 4 to get: x+y =2
and the second equation by 3 to get: x-3y =6
then subtract the equations to cancel out x:
x+y = 2
- x-3y = 6
then u get
y--3y = 2-6
4y = -4
y=-1
substitute to solve for x:
x-1 / 4 =1/2
x-1 = 2
x=3
check:
3+-1
2/4= 1/2
correct!!!
Answer and Step-by-step explanation: The null and alternative hypothesis for this test are:
To test it, use F-test statistics and compare variances of each treatment.
Calculate F-value:
F = 1.8356
The <u>critical value of F</u> is given by a F-distribution table with:
degree of freedom (row): 20 - 1 = 19
degree of freedom (column): 20 - 1 = 19
And a significance level: α = 0.05
= 2.2341
Comparing both values of F:
1.856 < 2.2341
i.e. F-value calculated is less than F-value of the table.
Therefore, failed to reject 
, meaning there is <u>no sufficient data to support the claim</u> that sham treatment have pain reductions which vary more than for those using magnets treatment.
