The remainder of f(x) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = $2x^{3} - 5x^{2} +8x + 4$

Here 2x - 1 is a factor.

We will apply Factor theorem ( states that if (x-a) is a factor of f(x) then f(a) is the remainder)

Putting x = 1/2 in f(x) we will get the remainder.

f(1/2) = 2(1/2)^3 -5(1/2)^2 +8(1/2) +4

What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation? <br><br>−5x + <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D" i

Sonja [21]

The x-intercept is the point on the graph where it crosses the x-axis. It’s also the value of the x-coordinate when y = 0.

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0:

-5x + 1/5(0) = 15

-5x + 0 = 15
-5x = 15

Divide both sides by -5:

x = -3.

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-3, 0).

The dot plot displays the number of marshmallows added to hot cocoa by several kids. What is the MAD of the data represented in

Pie

Mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the data set indicates the average distance of all elements from mean of the data set.

MAD of the data represented by dot plot in the picture will be Option A.

Elements in the given dot plot are,

3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7

Steps to be followed for the mean absolute deviation of this data set.

Find the mean of the data set
Find the absolute distance of each element from the mean
Find the average distance of all the elements which will be MAD of the data set.

Step - 1 :

Mean of the data set = $\frac{\text{Total of the data}}{\text{Total number of elements}}$
