Mode, because mode is the number that shows up most often.
Answer:
Increased.
Step-by-step explanation:
In March 2007, the unemployment rate was 4.4 percent. In August 2008 was 6.1 percent. We need to remember that the unemployment rate equals the number of unemployed people divided by the people in the labor force.
Now, if we consider that the labor force remained constant during this period of time (according to the problem) then this would mean that the number of unemployed people actually increased during this period of 17 months.
The notation just means
(f/g)(-4) = f(-4) / g(-4)
If f(x) = x² + 2 and g(x) = 1 - 3x, then
f(-4) = (-4)² + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18
g(-4) = 1 - 3 (-4) = 1 + 12 = 13
and so
(f/g)(-4) = 18/13
I considered them, but if you wanted them evaluated, here you go
24,000
630,000
96,000,000
