Linear function definition: a function that will create a straight line when graphed.
11 is not a linear function (not a straight line), but 12 is.
For the tables, you can either plot out the graph or just look at the number patterns. A linear function's numbers will always increase/decrease accordingly at a constant rate. For example, in 14, you notice that as x increases by 1, y decreases by 2. This means it is a linear graph.
In 13, as x increases by 1, the output y increases but at a different rate each time. It increased by 3 at first, then 5, then 7. Hence, it is not a linear function. What is it then? It is an exponential function.
Answer:
approximately 35.9
Step-by-step explanation:
(5+44+182-20-10)÷(2+5)
(99+182-20-10)÷(7)
(281-20-10)÷(7)
(261-10)÷÷(7)
(251)÷(7)
approximately 35.9
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.
The answer is b. It is the only choice that equals the right answer. You could also write this as 3 * 10^4, which is equivalent to b.
