Which statement is true?
a) researchers should ignore results that are the opposite to what they hypothesized.
b) researchers whose results are opposite to what was hypothesized should scrutinize alternative theories, their own methods, and findings from earlier research.
c) statistically significant results that are the opposite to what was hypothesized are likely the result of a type ii error.
d) statistically significant results that are the opposite to what was hypothesized are likely wrong.

Evaluate 8x2 + 9x − 1 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x dx. solution since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, we don't need to divide. we factor the denominator as 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x = x(2x2 + 3x − 2) = x(2x − 1)(x + 2). since the denominator has three distinct linear factors, the partial fraction decomposition of the integrand has the form† 8x2 + 9x − 1 x(2x − 1)(x + 2) = correct: your answer is correct. to determine the values of a, b, and c, we multiply both sides of this equation by the product of the denominators, x(2x − 1)(x + 2), obtaining 8x2 + 9x − 1 = a correct: your answer is correct. (x + 2) + bx(x + 2) + cx(2x − 1).
