What is “ f(x) = 2x^2- 32x” in standard form if it has one?

Most textbooks interpret standard form of a quadratic function to be as follows:

f(x) = $a x^{2} + bx + c$

In the function f(x) = $2 x^{2} - 32x$ , notice we do not have a value for "c". Just place a "0" in for the c and you have standard form.

the criteria for standard form:
1. All like terms are combined
2. Degree must drop from left to right
3. The leading coefficient cannot be equal to zero.

Mode is the number that shows up the most

in this case, it is 71,500 which shows up twice, one more than any of the other numbers

hope this helps

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The model $N (t)$ , the number of planets found up to time $t$ , as a Poisson process. So, the $N (t)$ has distribution of Poison distribution with parameter $(\lambda t)$

The mean for a month is, $\lambda = \frac{1}{3}$ per month

$E[N(t)]= \lambda t\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(24)\\\\=8$

(Here. t = 24)

For Poisson process mean and variance are same,

$Var[N (t)]= Var[N(24)]\\= E [N (24)]\\=8$

(Poisson distribution mean and variance equal)

The standard deviation of the number of planets is,

$\sigma( 24 )] =\sqrt{Var[ N(24)]}=\sqrt{8}= 2.828$

For the Poisson process the intervals between events(finding a new planet) have independent exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$ . The sum of $K$ of these independent exponential has distribution Gamma $(K, \lambda)$ .
