Since the parabola is connecting the points, it means that the points given are on the parabola or that the points are solutions of the parabola. Thus, when we substitute the points into the function, we should end up with the correct y-value.


To find the correct choice, let's test a point. An easy point to test I believe would be (-3, 0) because we should be getting 0 as a y-value. Let's test:

A. (- 3 - 3)(3 + 4) = -42

B. (-3 + 3)(-3 - 4) = 0

C. (-3 + 2)(-3 - 4) = 7

D. (-3)(-3 + 12) = -27


We can see that Choice B is the correct function, because it produces 0 when we substitute x = - 3. Thus, Choice B, or (x + 3)(x - 4) is the answer.

What is the median of the data set? <br> {10, 15, 14, 14, 10, 10, 8, 18, 11, 12, 17, 16}
Alexus [3.1K]
The median of a data set is the 'middle number'. You can find the median by listing the given numbers from least to greatest (left to right) and finding the middle number.

8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Cross one out on each side before getting to your last number that should be in the middle. 

The middle numbers are: 12 and 14. If it was only one number, we could already have the answer, but since it is two numbers in the middle, we need to add them up and divide by 2. 

12 + 14 = 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13

So, the median of the data set is: 13.
