Two positive integers are 3 units apart on a number line. their product is 108. which equation can be used to solve for m, the greater integer? m(m – 3) = 108 m(m + 3) = 108 (m + 3)(m – 3) = 108 (m – 12)(m – 9) = 108

How do i do this activity, is appreciated

17. a researcher measures three variables, x, y, and z for each individual in a sample of n = 20. the pearson correlations for this sample are rxy = 0.6, rxz = 0.4, and ryz = 0.7. a. find the partial correlation between x and y, holding z constant. b. find the partial correlation between x and z, holding y constant. (hint: simply switch the labels for the variables y and z to correspond with the labels in the equation.) gravetter, frederick j. statistics for the behavioral sciences (p. 526). cengage learning. kindle edition.
