Answer: -2 F

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average, or mean, of a data set, you must first combine all of the values in the set. Since some of these values are negative, it seems more difficult to solve. But it isn't. To find the mean of any data sets, you can find the absolute value of each numerical value. If you combine these regularly, it would be -15, but that is incorrect. The answer is -2 because some of the values may be negative, but you can find the answer easily. Just remember: To find the mean of data sets with negative values, you can find their absolute values, and solve from there. If this does not work for you, then find another solution. But the correct answer is -2 F.

Which of the following expressions has a value between 5 and 6.

Airida [17]

So listen to this logic
lets say you have 3 numbers, m,a,x where they are all positivie
m>a>x
therefor
m^2>a>2>x^2
if m and a and x are square roots, therefor we can reverse the square root
confusing sorry

square 5 and 6
5^2=25
6^2=36

the number betwe 25 and 36

that would be 32

answer is √32

goes like this
5^2<32<6^2
sqrt both sides
5<√32<6

answer is √32

Write the expression fourteen added to the product of seven and a number

victus00 [196]

Answer:

(7×x)+14

Step-by-step explanation: Because we have 14 added to something, we will need a + to whatever we are adding to. The product of 7 and a number is 7×x because product is the number you get after multiplication. So we get 7×x+14. You dont need parenthesis

Hope this helps!

What is the equation, in standard form, of a parabola that models the values in the table?

love history [14]

Answer:

$Y=4x^2+3x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

For the standard form equation to model the values in the table, each value of x in the table should give the matching the y value when substituted into the equation. We will test each equation:

$Y=3x^2+4x-6$ for (-2,4)
