What does it mean when the average is less than the median?

1 answer:

5 0

<span>This is common for a distribution that is skewed to the right (that is, bunched up toward the left and with a "tail" stretching toward the right). Similarly, a distribution that is skewed to the left (bunched up toward the right with a "tail" stretching toward the left) typically has a mean smaller than its median.</span>

Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y = (x + 2)2 to the graph of y = x2 + 3?

Mashutka [201]

1. Consider the transformation that maps the graph of the function $y=(x+2)^2$ into the graph of the function $y=x^2.$ This transmormation has a rule:

(x,y)→(x+2,y)

that is translation 2 units to the right.

2. Consider the transformation that maps the graph of the function $y=x^2$ into the graph of the function $y=x^2+3.$ This transformation has a rule:

(x,y)→(x,y+3)

that is translation 3 units up.

Answer: correct choice is C.

Z−4/9−1/3=5/9 Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest form in the box. z =

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

z = 4/3 or 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

z−4/9−1/3=5/9

Change 1/3 to have a denominator of 9

1/3 *3/3 = 3/9

z−4/9−3/9=5/9

Combine like terms

z -7/9 = 5/9

Add 7/9 to each side

z-7/9+7/9 = 5/9+7/9

z = 12/9

z=4/3

or as a mixed number

z = 1 1/3

. Andrew made an error in determining the polynomial equation of smallest degree whose roots are 3, 2+2i

KIM [24]

Answer:

Error of Andrew: Made incorrect factors from the roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Roots of the polynomial are: 3, 2 + 2i, 2 - 2i. According to the factor theorem, if a is a root of the polynomial P(x), then (x - a) is a factor of P(x). According to this definition:

(x - 3) , (x - (2 + 2i)) , (x - (2 - 2i)) are factors of the required polynomial.

Simplifying the brackets, we get:

(x - 3), (x - 2 - 2i), (x - 2 + 2i) are factors of the required polynomial.

This is the step where Andrew made the error. The factors will always be of the form (x - a) , not (x + a). Andrew wrote the complex factors in form of (x + a) which resulted in the wrong answer.

So, the polynomial would be:

$(x - 3)(x - 2 - 2i)(x - 2+2i)=0\\\\ (x-3)(x^{2}-2x+2xi-2x+4-4i-2xi+4i-4i^{2})=0\\\\ (x-3)(x^{2}-4x+4+4)=0\\\\ (x-3)(x^{2}-4x+8)=0\\\\ x^{3}-4x^{2}+8x-3x^{2}+12x-24=0\\\\ x^{3}-7x^{2}+20x-24=0$
