Answer:

Multiply 0.25x by 8

Step-by-step explanation:

82.5 + 8(0.25x) = 338.5

Multiply 0.25x by 8 we get,

8 × 0.25x = 2x

Thus, 82.5 + 2x = 338.5

Commutative property states out that in multiplication, changing the order of the numbers still have the same product (the product remains the same)

So, we can rewrite 8(0.25x) as (8 x 0.25)x = 2x

So, 82.5 + 8(0.25x) = 82.5 + 2x

What is the quadratic regression equation for the data set? PLEASEE HELP ME

You're trying to find constants $a_0,a_1,a_2$ such that $\hat y=a_0+a_1\hat x+a_2{\hat x}^2$ . Equivalently, you're looking for the least-square solution to the following matrix equation.

$\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}1&6&6^2\\1&3&3^2\\\vdots&\vdots&\vdots\\1&9&9^2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf A}\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf x}=\underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}100\\110\\\vdots\\70\end{bmatrix}}_{\mathbf b}$

To solve $\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b$ , multiply both sides by the transpose of $\mathbf A$ , which introduces an invertible square matrix on the LHS.

$\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf b\implies\mathbf A^\top\mathbf{Ax}=\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b\implies\mathbf x=(\mathbf A^\top\mathbf A)^{-1}\mathbf A^\top\mathbf b$

Computing this, you'd find that

$\mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}a_0\\a_1\\a_2\end{bmatrix}\approx\begin{bmatrix}121.119\\-3.786\\-0.175\end{bmatrix}$

which means the first choice is correct.
