Step-by-step explanation:
y = 16x²
you put the x values one after the other in place of x and do the calculations.
x = -4
y = 16×(-4)² = 16×16 = 256
x = -3
y = 16×(-3)² = 16×9 = 144
x = -2.5
y = 16×(-2.5)² = 16×6.25 = 100
x = -2
y = 16×(-2)² = 16×4 = 64
x = -1.5
y = 16×(-1.5)² = 16×2.25 = 36
x = -1
y = 16×(-1)² = 16×1 = 16
x = -0.5
y = 16×(-0.5)² = 16×0.25 = 4
x = 0
y = 16×0² = 16×0 = 0
x = 0.5
y = 16×0.5² = 16×0.25 = 4
x = 1
y = 16×1² = 16×1 = 16
and so on.
36, 64, 100, 144, 256
as you can see, the y values are the same for the positive and the negative values.
because squaring a negative number is the same as squaring the same positive number. that is, because (if you remember) squaring something means to multiply that something with itself. and minus multiplied by minus is plus, as plus multiplied by plus is plus.
and that creates the symmetry around the y-axis or x = 0. everything left of the y-axis is mirrored on the right side of the y-axis (and vice versa).
When dealing with a pool of data, the field of study is called statistics. This refers to the study of sample data and how they correlate it with the overall trend of the population. By doing this, they use terms that can best represent the sample data. These three are the most common:
1. Mean - this is the arithmetic average of the data
Mean = (<span>8+41+25+9+22+36+24+13+25+28)/10 = 23.1
2. Mode - this is the most frequent data point that can occur. In this case, the mode is 25 because it occurred twice.
3. Median - this is the middle of the sample data arranging it from least to greatest. In this case: 8, 9, 13, 22, 24, 25, 25, 28, 36, 41. The middle number is 25. Thus, the median is 25.</span>
Once you plug in -18 as x you divide it with 6 and the answer of that is -3 then you add 17 and -3 and your output will be 14!
