What is the equation of the quadratic function represented by this table?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I used logic and took the easy way around this as opposed to the long, drawn-out algebraic way.  I noticed right off that at x = -3 and x = -1 the y values were the same.  In the middle of those two x-values is -2, which is the vertex of the parabola with coordinates (-2, 4).  That's the h and k in the formula I'm going to use.  Then I picked a point from the table to use as my x and y in the formula I'm going to use.  I chose (0, 3) because it's easy.  The formula for a quadratic is

y=a(x-h)^2+k

and I have everything I need to solve for a.  Filling in my h, k, x, and y:

3=a(0-(-2))^2+4  and

3=a(2)^2+4  and

-1 = 4a so

a=-\frac{1}{4}

In work/vertex form the equation for the quadratic is

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x+2)^2+4

In standard form it's:

y=-\frac{1}{4}x^2-x+3

sineoko [7]

Answer:

The average distance of each observation from the mean is 0.                

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$7, $20, $9, $35, $12, $15, $7, $10, $20, $25

Formula:

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{160}{10} =16

Difference from the mean value of each term:

-9, 4, -7, 19, -4, -1, -9, -6, 4, 9

Average distances =

\text{Average distance} =\displaystyle\frac{0}{10} =0

Thus, the average distance of each observation from the mean is 0.
