If you're factoring, your answer is
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
You'll work it out this way:
16x^2 + 8x - 15
Since there's no GCF here, you multiply the first and third terms, giving you -240. Your next step is to find two numbers that have a sum of 8 and a product of -240. These numbers are 20 and -12. Plug those in and you've got:
16x^2 + 20x - 12x - 15
From here you divide it into two binomials. These are (16x^2 + 20x) and (-12x - 15).
When you take out the greatest common factors (4x and -3), they become:
4x(4x + 5) - 3(4x + 5)
Then you group what's outside of the parentheses together (4x - 3)
And bring what's inside of the parentheses down (4x + 5).
This brings your answer to
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
Start by multiplying b to both sides of the equation to get rid of the fraction. Now you have: Ub = ak.
To isolate a, divide both sides of the equation by k. 
= a is the final answer.
Answer:
A. The stepwise selection procedure uses Adjusted R-square as the "best" model criterion.
Step-by-step explanation:
Stepwise regression is a model which uses variables in step by step manner. The procedure involves removal or inclusion of independent variables one by one. It adds the most significant independent variable and removes the less significant independent variable. Usually stepwise selection uses R-square or Mallows Cp for picking the best fit.
