Answer: f(x) = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is represented by

9x + 3y= 12

This is a linear equation with x as the independent variable. This means that if x is the independent variable, the y is the dependent variable. The values of y depends on the values of x. In order to represent the function, 9x + 3y= 12, we would rearrange the function such that y stands alone on the left hand side of the equation. This becomes

9x + 3y= 12

Subtracting 9x from both sides,

9x -9x + 3y = 12 - 9x

3y = 12-9x

Dividing the lefthand side and right hand side of the equation by 3, it becomes

3y/3 = (12-9x)/3

y= -3x + 4

using function notation,

y = f(x) = -3x + 4

Order the fractions in ascending order:
{1/6,1/8,1/3}
={4/24,3/24,8/24}
=> in ascending order:
3/24,4/24,8/24
= 1/8, 1/6, 1/3

alekssr [168]

Answer:

$5.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean:

The mean of a data set is commonly known as the average. You find the mean by taking the sum of all the data values and dividing that sum by the total number of data values. The formula for the mean of a population is

$\mu = \frac{{\sum}x}{N}$

The formula for the mean of a sample is

$\bar{x} = \frac{{\sum}x}{n}$

Both of these formulas use the same mathematical process: find the sum of the data values and divide by the total. For the data values entered above, the solution is:

$\frac{55}{10} = 5.5$
