<span>The variance method is as follows.

-Sum the squares of the values in data set, and then divide by the number of values in data set
- From that, subtract the square of the mean (add all values and divide by number of values in the data set)

Our variance is

<span>\displaystyle\sigma^2 = \frac{2^2 + 5^2 + m^2}{3} - \left(\frac{2 + 5 + m}{3}\right)^2

Since variance has to be 14, we set \sigma^2  = 14 and solve for m

14= \frac{4 + 25 + m^2}{3} - \left(\frac{7 + m}{3}\right)^2\ \Rightarrow \\ \\&#10;14 = \frac{29}{3} + \frac{1}{3}m^2 - \frac{1}{9}(7+m)^2 \\ \\&#10;14 = \frac{29}{3}+ \frac{1}{3}m^2 - \frac{1}{9}(49 + 14m + m^2) \\ \\&#10;14 = \frac{29}{3}+ \frac{1}{3}m^2 - \frac{49}{9}- \frac{14}{9}m- \frac{1}{9}m^2 \\ \\&#10;0 = \frac{-88}{9}  -\frac{14}{9}m + \frac{2}{9}m^2&#10;

quadratic formula


m = \displaystyle\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a} \\&#10;m = \frac{-(-\frac{14}{9}) \pm \sqrt{\left(-\frac{14}{9}\right)^2 - 4(2/9)(-88/9)} }{2(2/9)} \\&#10;m = \frac{\frac{14}{9} \pm \sqrt{ \frac{196}{81} + \frac{704}{81} } }{\frac{4}{9} } \\&#10;m = \frac{\frac{14}{9} \pm \sqrt{ \frac{900}{81}  } }{\frac{4}{9} } \\&#10;m = \frac{\frac{14}{9} \pm \sqrt{ \frac{100}{9}  } }{\frac{4}{9} } \\&#10;m = \frac{\frac{14}{9} \pm \frac{10}{3}  }{\frac{4}{9} } \\&#10;m = 11, -4

-4 doesnt' work as it is not a positive integer

m = 11

Write <br> 9<br> 5<br> as a mixed number.
Advocard [28]
<span>Well, think of it this way? How many times does 5 go into 9? 

5 * 1 = 5 
5 * 2 = 10 

So 5 goes into 9 one time. Then you have to subtract that 5 from 9 to be left with your fraction value. 

1 and 4/5 is your mixed number.</span>

What is the vertex of the graph of y = −1(x − 2)2 + 3?<br> (3,-2)<br> (-2,3)<br> (3,2)<br> (2,3)
aleksley [76]
The vertex form is y=a(x-h)²+k
the vertex is (h,k)
so

y=-1(x-2)²+3
compare to
y=a(x-h)²+k
2=h and 3=k
the vertex is  (2,3)
