Answer:
(1.13, 7.74) and (-4.13, 18.26)
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved in two ways: mathematically and graphically.
<u>Graphing</u>
Plot both lines and find where they intersect. See the attachment.
The intersection points are (1.13, 7.74) and (-4.13, 18.26)
<u>Mathematical</u>
y + 2x = 10
y = 10 - 2x
y = 3x² + 7x - 4
10 - 2x = 3x² + 7x - 4
3x² + 9x - 14 = 0
Solve this using the quadratic equation:
x = 1.13 and -4.13
Use these two values of x to find y:
y = 10 - 2x
y = 10 - 2(1.13)
y = 7.74
y = 10 -2x
y = 10 -2(-4.13)
y = 18.26
The two points are:
(1.13, 7.74) and (-4.13, 18.26)
The standard deviation<u> </u><u>INCREASES</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard deviation is used to show how the points of the data deviate from the mean. The formulae for deriving standard deviation is attached. As seen from the formulae, the greater the variance of the data from the mean, the higher the Standard Deviation.
The mean of the given data points is $103.4. $450 is way off from this mean meaning that there is a large variance in this data point.
