Answer:
linear
Step-by-step explanation:
So, teh exact value is sqrt( 19^2 - 8^2 ) = sqrt( 361-64) = sqrt(297).
There's people who can calculate this mentally, but I can't. Approximate by known squares: 15^2 = 225, 16^2 = 256, 17^2= 289, 18^2=324,
So, 18.
A^2 +a-6. You use the method of foiling where you multiply the first two terms, the the outside terms, the inside terms, then the last terms. You would do a•a, then a•-2 the a•3 then 3•-2. You would get a^2 -2a +3a -6. Then combine like terms to get your answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, and the variance is found by using the mean. So we will do that first. I will use the population variance as opposed to the sample variance since our set of numbers is small.
The mean: 8 + 12 + 15 + 17 + 18 = 70 and divide that by 5 to get
and use this to find the variance in the formula:
it is a bit difficult to enter that formula in correctly, but here's how it works mathematically:
Squaring this ensures us that we don't end up with zero, which would be useless.
so
which means that the standard deviation is
s = 3.633
(If you do it with n-1 = 4 in the denominator of the variance, you get a standard deviation of 4.062)
