Answer:
-140 ft is not a distance
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance must be a positive number
-140 is negative
To find the mean absolute deviation, you have to find the mean first.
1+1+2+2+2+4=12
12 divided by 6 numbers=2 The mean of that is two
Next, you have to find the amount the original numbers are away from the mean.
1= 1 away from 2 2=0 away from 2 4=2 away from 2
You should get: 1,1,0,0,0,2 Next, you have to find the mean of the new set of numbers. 1+1+0+0+0+2=4
4 divided by 6= 2/3
The mean absolute deviation is 2/3
You are essentially asking at this point where is the quadratic function greater than 0. To get the interval find the roots. Between the roots the function is guaranteed to be LESS THAN zero. Everywhere else the function is greater than 0.
Use Vieta's rule to get the roots,
Both roots are the same so no value is less than 0 which means all values except at the point of root are strictly greater, the point of root is at which means the set for which the quadratic function is greater than 0 is "all real numbers except 1".
To convert this into interval notation use all numbers up to 1 but not including and all numbers after 1 but not including,
Hope this helps :)
