Answer:

  4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It appears the 5 integers must be {3, 3, 4, 5, 7}.

For the mode to be unique, there must be more than one '3', and there cannot be any other repeated numbers. For 4 to be the median, it must be the 3rd-highest number. Then the remaining numbers must be integers greater than 4 with a sum of 12 for the mean to be 4.4.

When 8 is added to the collection, the median is now the average of 4 and 5, so is 4.5.

The new median is 4.5.

<em>Comment on vocabulary</em>

<u>mean</u>: the sum of numbers divided by the number of numbers. 5 numbers with a mean of 4.4 will have a sum of 5×4.4 = 22.

<u>median</u>: the middle number of a collection of an odd number of numbers, when sorted from lowest to highest. It is the 3rd number of a group of 5 numbers. When there are an even number of numbers in the group, the median is the average of the middle two in the sorted list. Here, that means the 3rd number in the list of 5 is '4'. When 8 is added, 4 becomes one of the numbers contributing to the average that will be the new median.

<u>mode</u>: the member of the group that appears the most times. When the mode is unique, it means there are no other numbers repeated as often. Here, we know the 3rd number (of 5) is 4, so there can only be two numbers '3' in the collection. That 3 is the unique mode means no other numbers are repeated at all.

Ann believes that y= 3x (x -7) is a quadratic function. Jordan says that she is wrong because the degree (highest exponent) is n
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Ann us correct. It's a quadratic function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

y = 3x(x - 7)

By converting this equation into the standard quadratic equation,

y = 3x² - 21x

Highest exponent of the polynomial equation is 2 (Exponent of highest degree variable x²). This decides that the given function is a quadratic function.

Therefore, Ann is correct. It's a quadratic function.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

T'(2, - 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a rotation about the origin of 180°

a point (x, y ) → (- x, - y ), thus

4b + 5 = 1 + 5b <br><br> what is b?
Alla [95]

Answer: b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

4b + 5 = 1 + 5b

<u>Subtract 4b on both sides</u>

4b + 5 - 4b = 1 + 5b - 4b

5 = 1 + b

<u>Subtract 1 on both sides</u>

5 - 1 = 1 + b - 1

\boxed{b=4}

Hope this helps!! :)
