Answer:

explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is an outlier in the data set, the dot plot or histogram will be skewed. In a skewed representation, the mean is pulled up or down toward the tail of the data. Therefore, skewed data affects the mean more than the median.

Find all x and y intercepts of the graph of the function f(x)= 2x^3+6x^2-2x-6

Answer:

  • y-intercept: (0, -6)
  • x-intercepts: (-3, 0), (-1, 0), (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We notice the first pair of coefficients is the same as the last pair (with the sign changed). This means we can factor by grouping.

  f(x) = (2x^3 +6x^2) -(2x +6)

  f(x) = 2x^2(x +3) -2(x +3)

  f(x) = 2(x^2 -1)(x +3) = 2(x -1)(x +1)(x +3)

The factors are made to be zero when x is 1, -1, or -3.

The x-intercepts are (1, 0), (-1, 0), (-3, 0).

The y-intercept is the constant, -6.

Factor 2x^2-128 completely
Alina [70]
2x² - 128

2(x² - 64), but (x² - 64)  = x² - 8² (difference of 2 squares),[a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)]

2(x² - 64) = 2(x² - 8²) = 2(x-8)(x+8)
