Step-by-step explanation:
x2-x-12<0
x2-x<12
x=12
The median, because the data is not symmetric and there are outliers is the data is not symmetric and there are outliers.
The median of the data set is 8 cakes, while the average is 7.5.
However, 21 of the 31 chefs, or roughly 2/3, made 8 or more cakes. This makes the median a better center for this data, since the data is clearly skewed. The four chefs that made 1 cake each brings the average down, skewing the mean and making the median a better representation of the data.
To be written in standard form, the exponents need to be in order from largest to smallest.
The answer is: a. −3x^5 + 4x^3 + 10x^2
