The mean is often the default measure of center because it includes every data point, ie its more representative. However, if you have outliers then the mean will be skewed toward the outlier. For example, with home prices, very expensive houses will make the mean larger than it should be if you focused on the main cluster of data. This is why the median home price is often measured and reported (rather than the mean home price).
Answer:
(5, - 8 ) and (- 1, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - x² + 2x + 7 → (1)
y = - 2x + 2 → (2)
Substitute y = - 2x + 2 into (1)
- 2x + 2 = - x² + 2x + 7 ← subtract - x² + 2x + 7 from both sides
x² - 4x - 5 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
Substitute these values into (2) for corresponding values of y
x = 5 → y = - 2(5) + 2 = - 10 + 2 = - 8 ⇒ (5, - 8)
x = - 1 → y = - 2(- 1) + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4 ⇒ (- 1, 4)
