Well, as far as I can tell, the mean (average) is the best representation of the data because there is no outlier (a number a lot higher or lower than the rest of the numbers that throws the data off).
Answer:
See explanation.
(Before continuing reading, I took the base to be 3. Please tell me if you didn't want the base to be 3.)
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume 3 is suppose to be the base. Let's list some values that can be written as 3 to some integer.
3^0=1
3^1=3
3^2=9
3^3=27
3^4=81
3^5=243
......
I could have also did negative integer powers, but this is all I really need to convince you that log_3(28) is between 3 and 4.
log_3(28) means the value x such that 3^x=28.
Since 28 is between 27 and 81 in my list above, that means 3^x is between 3^3 and 3^4. This means that x is a value between 3 and 4.

Add arrows to the two ends of the parabola.
Step-by-step explanation:
To sketch this quadratic function, we to connect three dots: the two roots and a vertex.
The given roots are -1 and 1.
Draw <u>two dots at the x-intercepts</u>, which are (-1, 0) and (1, 0).
Vertex dot: V (x, y)
The vertex x-coordinate always in the middle of the two roots. The middle of -1 and 1 is 0. That's the same as the y-axis.
V (0, y)
Since the function increases when x < 0, the parabola will <u>open up</u>.
We read from left to right. The greater numbers are towards the top of the page.
<u>You can put the vertex anywhere on the y-axis that is below the x-axis.</u>
The bonus would be worth $493,000.
3.4% = 3.4/100 = 0.034; 3.4% of 14500000 = 0.034(14500000) = 493000.
