A local grocery store wants to predict its daily sales in dollars. The manager believes that the amount of newspaper advertising significantly affects sales. He randomly selects 7 days of data consisting of daily grocery store sales (in thousands of dollars) and advertising expenditures (in thousands of dollars). The Excel/MegaStat output given above summarizes the results of the regression model. At a significance level of .05, test the significance of the slope and state your conclusion.

10 * 563.67 = 5636.7

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   (7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)

discussion:

in general, the factorization of a^3 + b^3 is

a^3 + b^ 3 = (a + b) ( a^2 - ab + b^2)

in our case note that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 so the equation becomes:

343x^3 + 216y^3 = (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

if you think of a (above) as 7x and b as 6y the factorization becomes

343x^3 + 216y^3 =

((7x + 6y) (   (7x)^2 - 7x*6y + (6y)^2)   =

(7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)
