Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, what is mode: it is the highest occuring number in a set of numbers.

now since 12 is supposed to be the mean and it occurs twice but 9 also occurs twice so for 12 to be the mode, we must add one more 12.

therefore the answer is 12

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Mode: the number often being occurred

If the mode is 12 then 12 has to be occurred the most in the set otherwise it can’t be the mode

Then we have- but first let’s set up the numbers in oder to not confuse ourselves!

7, 7, 7, 9, 9, 12, 12, 12, 15, 15

Now we can see that 2 numbers (12 and 15) have been occurred the same way!

Since we’re trying to make the mode equal to 12, that one additional number will have to be 12

4. This is a

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4). This is an exponential function.

5). Let the equation of this function is,

f(x) = a(b)ˣ

Since, two points (-1, 4) and (0, 6) are lying on the graph of the function,

For (-1, 4),

4 = a(b)⁻¹

4 = $\frac{a}{b}$ --------(1)

For (0, 6),

6 = a(b)⁰

a = 6

From equation (1),

4 = $\frac{6}{b}$

b = $\frac{6}{4}$ = 1.5

Therefore, equation of the function will be,

f(x) = 6(1.5)ˣ

6). Now the value of f(-4) will be,

f(-4) = 6(1.5)⁻⁴

= 1.185

Find the roots of:

Elena-2011 [213]

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{1) \ 2x^3-7x^2+8x-3=0 } \end{gathered}$}$

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -3 are 1, -1, 3, +3. So:

| 2 -7 8 -3

1 | 2 -5 3

| 2 -5 3 0

1 | 2 -3

2 -3 0

So the factorization is (x-1)² (2x-3)=0. So:

$\bf{ x_1=x_2=1 \qquad x_2=\dfrac{3}{2} }$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{2) \ x^3-x^2-4=0 } \end{gathered}$}$

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of -4 are 1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4. So:

| 1 -1 0 -4

2 | 2 2

1 2 2 0

So the factorization is (x-2)(x²+x+2)=0 . When calculating the discriminant of the trinomial, it is concluded that it has no roots since the result is negative. So you only have one solution.

$\bf{ 1^2-4(2)(2)=1-16=-15 < 0 \quad \Longrightarrow \quad x=2 }$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \pmb{3) \ 6x^3+7x^2-9x+2=0 } \end{gathered}$}$

Synthetic division is used since the equation is of the third degree. The divisors of 2 are 1, -1, 2, -2. So:

| 6 7 9 2

-2 | -12 10 -2

6 -5 1 0

So the factorization is (x+2)(6x²-5x+1)=0 . The quadratic equation is solved by the general formula:

$\bf{ x_{2, 3}&=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{(5)^2-4(6)(1)}}{2(6)}=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{25-24}}{12}=\dfrac{5\pm 1}{12} }}$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \begin{matrix} x_1=-2&\ \ \ \ \ \ x_{2}=\dfrac{6}{12} \qquad &\ \ \ x_3=\dfrac{4}{12}\\ &\ \ \ x_2=\dfrac{1}{2} \qquad &x_3=\dfrac{1}{3} \end{matrix} \end{gathered}$}$
