Answer:

$4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the mean formula: mean = sum of elements / number of elements

Let x represent the cost of the fifth book, and solve for x:

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

3.25 = (11.75 + x) / 5

16.25 = 11.75 + x

4.5 = x

So, the cost of the fifth book was $4.50

State a cubic or quartic function with the least degree possible in intercept form for the given graph. Assume that all x-interc
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

y = -x^{3} - 2x^{2} + 5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The function will be cubic.  The x-intercepts are -4, -1, and 2

The constant factor is -1 because the graph falls on the right.  So,

y = -(x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 2)

y = -x^{3} -2x^{2} + 5x +6

A start-up company is about to market a new computer printer. It decides to gamble by running commercials during the Super Bowl.
V125BC [204]
There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that over 40% of the public recognize its brand name and associate it with computer equipment thus the company should not continue to advertise during the Super Bowls. So No. Hope I helped have a good day !

The mean of 5 numbers is 30. The median is 33. What might the numbers be?
tatiyna

Let a,b,c,d and e are five numbers

mean = (a +b+ c+ d+e)/5 = 30

⇒ (a +b+ c+ d+e) = 150_______(1)

now, Let the number excluded be a

then, new mean =  (b+ c+ d+e)/4 = 28

⇒ (b+ c+ d+e)= 112

putting this value in (1),

⇒a + 112 = 150

⇒a = 150 -112 = 38

excluded number = 38

15y^-11/3y^-11, show steps I need help please don't understand how to do it.
tester [92]
One may note, you never quite asked anything per se, ahemm, if you meant simplification.

\bf \left.\qquad \qquad \right.\textit{negative exponents}\\\\
a^{-{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}
\qquad \qquad
\cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\implies a^{-{ n}}
\qquad \qquad 
a^{{{  n}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-{{  n}}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{15y^{-11}}{3y^{-11}}\implies \cfrac{15}{3}\cdot \cfrac{y^{-11}}{y^{-11}}\implies 5\cdot y^{-11}\cdot y^{+11}\implies 5\cdot y^{-11+11}
\\\\\\
5y^0 \implies \boxed{5}
