<h3>
Answer: Choice C) x^4 - 2</h3>
Explanation:
If the exponent is negative, then that means we apply the reciprocal. So something like x^(-2) becomes 1/(x^2). A polynomial cannot have a variable in the denominator like this. So we can rule out choices A, B, and D. Choice C is the only thing left. It is a polynomial because the exponent is a positive whole number.
First, let's calculate the mean and the mean absolute deviation of the first bowler.
FIRST BOWLER: <span>8,5,5,6,8,7,4,7,6
Mean = (Sum of all data)/(Number of data points) = (8+5+5+6+8+7+4+7+6)/9
<em>Mean = 6.222</em>
Mean absolute deviation or MAD = [</span>∑(|Data Point - Mean|]/Number of Data Points
MAD = [|8 - 6.222| + |5 - 6.222| + |5 - 6.222| + |6 - 6.222| + |8 - 6.222| + |7 - 6.222| + |4 - 6.222| + |7 - 6.222| + |6 - 6.222|]/9
<em>MAD = 1.136</em>
SECOND BOWLER: <span>10,6,8,8,5,5,6,8,9
</span>Mean = (Sum of all data)/(Number of data points) = (<span>10+6+8+8+5+5+6+8+9</span>)/9
<em>Mean = 7.222</em>
Mean absolute deviation or MAD = [∑(|Data Point - Mean|]/Number of Data Points
MAD = [|10 - 7.222| + |6 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |5 - 7.222| + |5 - 7.222| + |6 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |9 - 7.222|]/9
<em>MAD = 1.531
</em>
The mean absolute deviation represents the average distance of each data to the mean. Thus, the lesser the value of the MAD is, the more consistent is the data to the mean. <em>B</em><em>etween the two, the first bowler is more consistent.</em>
Answer: B. 2 = 3x + 10x2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the concept of quadratic equations; We required to find the type of equation that can be solved using the model that has been used to solve the equation such that the answer is:
[-3+-sqrt(3^2+4(10)(2))]/(2(10))
The formual that was applied here was a quadratic formula given by:
x=[-b+\-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
whereby from the our substituted values above,
a=10,b=3 and c=-2
such that the quadratic equation will be:
10x^2+3x-2
10 root 2
10^2 + 10^2 = 200
200 is 10 root 2
