The mean of the distance
Mean is calculated as:

So, we have:



Approximate

Answer: 8.3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the variance, you want to find the mean of the data.

Now that we have the mean, we find the difference between each data point and the mean.
3-5=-2
3-5=-2
8-5=3
1-5=-4
9-5=4
6-5=1
With the difference, you square each and find the average.
(-2)²=4
(-2)²=4
3²=9
(-4)²=16
4²=16
1²=1

The variance is 8.3.
So I'm assuming that you're taking Calculus.
The first thing you want to do is take the integral of f(x)...
Use the power rule to get:
4X^2-13X+3.
Now solve for X when f(x)=0. This is because when the slope is 0, it is either a minimum or a maximum(I'm assuming you know this)
Now you get X=0.25 and X=3. Since we are working in the interval of (1,4), we can ignore 0.25
Thus our potential X values for max and min are X=1,X=4,X=3(You don't want to forget the ends of the bounds!)
Plugging these value in for f(x), we get
f(1)=2.833
f(3)=-8.5
f(4)=1.667
Thus X=1 is the max and X=3 is the min.
So max:(1,2.833)
min:(3,-8.5)
Hope this helps!
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33769/181
Discussion:
Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives
x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17) = 71 (*)
Use common factor (17*14*4 = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:
1/4 = (17*14)/ 952 = 238/952
1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952
1/17 = (14*4)/952 = 56/952
so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 = (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 = 362/952 = 181/476
Substituting in (*) gives
x ( 181/476) = 71 => multiply both sides by 476/181
x = (71 * 476)/181 => 71* 476 =33769
x = 33769/181
Thank you,
