Answer:
1.5kg
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean for the packages on day 1 will be:
= (1 + 8 + 1 + 12 + 1 + 11 + 7 + 6)/8
= 47/8
= 5.875
The mean for day 2 will be:
= (47 + 12)/8
= 59/8
= 7.375
The increase in mean:
= 7.375 - 5.875
= 1.5
Answer: No, x+3 is not a factor of 2x^2-2x-12
========================================================
Explanation:
Let p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
If we divide p(x) over (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). I'm using the remainder theorem. A special case of the remainder theorem is that if p(k) = 0, then x-k is a factor of p(x).
Compare x+3 = x-(-3) to x-k to find that k = -3.
Plug x = -3 into the function
p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
p(-3) = 2(-3)^2 - 2(-3) - 12
p(-3) = 12
We don't get 0 as a result so x+3 is not a factor of p(x) = 2x^2 - 2x - 12
----------------------------------------
Let's see what happens when we factor p(x)
2x^2 - 2x - 12
2(x^2 - x - 6)
2(x - 3)(x + 2)
The factors here are 2, x-3 and x+2
Find the slope(s) twice, first the slope of the line connecting (2,4) and (4,8) and then the slope of the line connecting (2,4) and (8,12). If you get different slopes, then it'd be safe for you to conclude that the points do not lie on the same line.
