The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the average of a set of data is A=\frac{S}{N} , where

  • S is the sum of the data in the set
  • N is the number of the data in the set

∵ The low temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, for a week were

   − 6, − 3, − 1, 1, − 3, − 9, and − 14 degrees Celsius

∴ The set of the data is { -6 , -3 , -1 , 1 , -3 , -9 , -14}

- Add the data in the set

∵ S = -6 + -3 + -1 + 1 + -3 + -9 + -14

∴ S = -35

∵ The set has 7 data

∴ N = 7

- Use the formula of the average above to find it

∴ A=\frac{-35}{7}

∴ A = -5

∴ The average of the original set of numbers is -5

To keep the average the same after removing two numbers multiply the average by the new number of data to find the new sum

∵ The number of data after removing two numbers is 5

∴ N = 5

∵ A = -5

- By using the rule of average

∴ -5=\frac{S}{5}

- Multiply both sides by 5

∴ -25 = S

∴ The new sum is -25

- Lets find which two numbers of have a sum of -10 because

   the difference between -35 and -25 is -10

∵ -1 + -9 = -10

∵ -6 + -3 + 1 + -3 + -14 = -25

∴ We could removed -1 and -9

The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9

Consider the multivariable function f\left(x,y,z\right)=\frac{x^3-2.5y^2+\frac{z}{2}}{z\left(x-y\right)}f ( x , y , z ) = x 3 −
Lelu [443]

Answer:

f\left(2,3,1\right)=\bold{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

f\left(x,y,z\right)=\frac{x^3-2.5y^2+\frac{z}{2}}{z\left(x-y\right)}

To find:

The value of f(2, 3, 1) = ?

Solution:

f(2, 3, 1) means the values of x, y\ and\ z as:

x=2\\y=3\\z=1

Let us put the given values in the given function and let us solve for it:

\Rightarrow f\left(2,3,1\right)=\dfrac{2^3-2.5\times 3^2+\frac{1}{2}}{1\left(2-3\right)}\\\\\Rightarrow f\left(2,3,1\right)=\dfrac{8-2.5\times 9+0.5}{1\left(-1\right)}\\\\\Rightarrow f\left(2,3,1\right)=\dfrac{8-22.5+0.5}{-1}\\\\\Rightarrow f\left(2,3,1\right)=\dfrac{-14}{-1}\\\\\Rightarrow f\left(2,3,1\right)=\bold{14}

Therefore, the answer is:

f\left(2,3,1\right)=\bold{14}
