Answer:

(a) 25

(b) 9.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We have to rearrange the given days set from least to highest

35, 40, 45, 55, 60

(a) the range

Range = The highest number - The least number

= 60 - 35

= 25

(b) the standard deviation of the data set

35, 40, 45, 55, 60.

We find the Mean

Mean = Sum of values/Number of values

= 35+40+45+55+60/5

= 235/5

= 47

We can find the standard deviation now.

The formula =

√(x - Mean)²/n

= √(35 - 47)²+ (40 + 47)² + (45 - 47)² + (55 - 47)² + (60 - 47)²/5

= √144 + 49 + 4 + 64 +169/5

= √430/5

= √86

= 9.273618495

Approximately = 9.27

Your family takes a road trip to Berlin for the weekend. You've driven 120 miles so far, but need to travel 400 miles

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

280 more miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question stem "how many more" usually means your going to need to subtract somewhere in this problem.

If your destination is 400 miles away, and you have already driven 120 miles, all we need to do it subtract 120 from 400.

$400 - 120 = 280$

Two points defining a linear function are shown in the table below. x y –14 –18 –10 –12 What is the slope of the function? Two-t

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table it is clear that the linear function passing through the points (-14,-18) and (-10,-12).

The slope of a linear function is

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The given line passing through the points (-14,-18) and (-10,-12), so the slope of the line is

$m=\dfrac{-12-(-18)}{-10-(-14)}$

$m=\dfrac{-12+18}{-10+14}$

$m=\dfrac{6}{4}$

$m=\dfrac{3}{2}$

The slope of the required line is $\dfrac{3}{2}$ .

Therefore, the correct option is B.

This graph represents a quadratic function. What is the function’s equation written in factored form and in vertex form?

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$\textsf{Factored form}: \quad f(x)=2x(x-4)$

$\textsf{Vertex form}: \quad f(x)=2(x-2)^2-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Factored form of a quadratic function

$f(x)=a(x-p)(x-q)$

where:

p and q are the x-intercepts
a is some constant

Given x-intercepts:

(0, 0)
(4, 0)

Therefore:

$\implies f(x)=a(x-0)(x-4)$

$\implies f(x)=ax(x-4)$

To find a, substitute the given vertex (2, -8) into the equation and solve for a:

$\implies 2a(2-4)=-8$

$\implies -4a=-8$

$\implies a=2$

Therefore, the function's equation in factored form is:

$f(x)=2x(x-4)$

Vertex form of a quadratic equation

$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$

where:

(h, k) is the vertex
a is some constant

Given:

vertex = (2, -8)

Therefore:

$\implies f(x)=a(x-2)^2-8$

To find the constant a, substitute one of the x-intercepts into the equation and solve for a:

$\implies a(0-2)^2-8=0$

$\implies 4a-8=0$

$\implies a=2$

Therefore, the function's equation in vertex form is:

$f(x)=2(x-2)^2-8$
