If you observe carefully, you can see that the graph is crossing x-axis at the points 1 and 9. This means x = 1 and x = 9 are the roots of the polynomials and x - 1 and x - 9 are thus the factors of the polynomial.
We can express the polynomial as the product of its factors. So the above polynomial can be expressed as (x - 1)(x - 9)
Thus, the answer to the question is option D
The formula for standard deviation is in attachment the mean (or average is subtracted from each data sample then squared, then summed up for all data samples, then divided by the number of samples, then finally the square root is taken.
The first row of data will have a standard deviation of 0.
The second row of numbers will have a low standard deviation because the differences between the sample data values are low ( <10).
The third row of number will have a somewhat larger standard because of the spread of the numbers.
The last row will have a slightly smaller standard deviation that the 3rd row because of the zero's
What smaller number can you get other than 0?
The first row of data has a 0 or smallest standard deviation
Well, to find the slope of a line, mx + b = y is the formula, and m is slope.
-71 - 2y = 56
We add the 71 on both sides.
-2y = 126
Divide by -2 on both sides.
y = -63
There is no distinguishable slope in this because y equals an integer, not an expression that includes x or m, so the slope is zero.
Hope this helps! (:
