First, before multiplying to cancel the fraction, let's isolate x by subtracting both sides by 3:
b/9 < 1
To cancel out the fraction, we multiply both sides by 9:
x < 9
Complete the square:
F(x) = -3x² - 6x - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x + 1 - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 ((x + 1)² - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² + 3 - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² - 2
The y-intercept has x-coordinate equal to 0, so it corresponds to the value of F(0) :
F(0) = -3 (0 + 1)² - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line running through the vertex of this parabola, so we'll come back to this.
The vertex of the parabola is (-1, -2). This represents the maximum value of F(x), which follows from
(x + 1)² ≥ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² ≤ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² - 2 ≤ -2
This is to say, every point on the parabola has a y-coordinate no greater than -2.
As mentioned earlier, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex, and its equation is determined by the x-coordinate of the vertex. Hence the AoS is the line x = -1.
If the outliers are not included, what is the mean of the data? 76,79,80,82,50,78,83,79,81,82.

50 is the only outlier so take 50 out of the set then add the other 9 data points and divide by 9.<span>
76 + 79 + 80 + 82 + 78 + 83 + 79 + 81 + 82 = 720 / 9 = 80</span>
The common denominator is 40.
