If you plot the points given on a coordinate plane you see that this is a hyperbola that is is horizontal in nature, meaning it opens side to side, not up and down.  We can determine the center of it by taking the point equidistant from the vertices, which is (4, 5), the h and k of our center, respectively.  Also, the equation looks like this when it is horizontal: \frac{(x-h) ^{2} }{ a^{2} } - \frac{(y-k) ^{2} }{ b^{2} } =1.  a is the distance between the center and the vertices, so our a = 2, and c is the distance between the center and the foci, so our c = 3.  We need to find b now, using Pythagorean's theorem.  ( 2)^{2} + b^{2} =( 3)^{2} and b= \sqrt{5}.  Now we have everything we need to rewrite the equation: \frac{(x-4) ^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y-5) ^{2} }{5} =1

For this set of data,<br> 89, 88, 84, 87, 89, 84, 84, 83, 85, 89, 84<br> Find the standard deviation
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: 2.2962419891482

Step-by-step explanation: First get the mean of the numbers or the average

the mean in this case is 86

then subtract each number by the mean of 86

the numbers then become : 3, 2, -2, 1, 3, -2, -2, -3, -1, 3, -2

then square all the numbers to get : 9, 4, 4, 1, 9, 4, -4, 9, 1, 9, 4

then find the mean of those numbers which is 5.2727272727273

then find the square root of this number to find the standard deviation

2.2962419891482 is the standard deviation

hope this helps mark me brainliest if it helped

Determine if y=3x-2 Is a function
Komok [63]

y=3x-2 is a function because it passes the vertical line test.

This means that for each individual x-value that we substitute for x, there is a unique individual y-value that y ends up equaling to.
