Explanation: I am sure you missed an extra 10 in your problem. There are supposed to be four 10's (Well at least in my problem). The rest you know, the answer are stated for the set of data: 10, 1, 10, 15, 1, 7, 10, 10, 1, 6, 13.
Having a number to the power of a fraction is the equivalent of rooting by its reciprocal. So, the sixth root, fourth root, cube root, and square root. Only odd roots can have negative answers (∛x, x can be negative; √y, y can not be negative unless we talk about imaginary numbers).
Since we are looking for a real number, C, showing a cube root of a negative number, must be the answer.
Factor the quadratic 4 x^2 + 24 x + 27. The coefficient of x^2 is 4 and the constant term is 27. The product of 4 and 27 is 108. The factors of 108 which sum to 24 are 6 and 18. So 4 x^2 + 24 x + 27 = 4 x^2 + 18 x + 6 x + 27 = 9 (2 x + 3) + 2 x (2 x + 3):
Locate 1 on the x axis. This is the horizontal number line.
Draw a vertical line through 1 on the x axis. Extend this vertical line as far up and down as you can.
Notice how the vertical line crosses the blue curve. Mark this point. Then draw a horizontal line from this point to the y axis. The horizontal line will touch -4 on the y axis. So that means the point (1,-4) is on the curve.
If the input it is x = 1, then the output is y = -4
