<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

PLEASE HELP ASAP <br>are f(x)=4/x-2-1 and g(x)=3/x+2-2 inverses of each other?​
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

To find the inverse of:

f (x)=\dfrac{4}{x-2}-1

Set the function to y:

\implies y=\dfrac{4}{x-2}-1

Rearrange to make x the subject:

\implies y+1=\dfrac{4}{x-2}

\implies (y+1)(x-2)=4

\implies xy-2y+x-2=4

\implies xy+x=2y+6

\implies x(y+1)=2y+6

\implies x=\dfrac{2y+6}{y+1}

Swap x and y:

\implies y=\dfrac{2x+6}{x+1}

Change y to the inverse of the function sign:

\implies f\:^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{2x+6}{x+1}

Rewrite g(x) as a fraction:

g(x)=\dfrac{3}{x+2}-2

\implies g(x)=\dfrac{3}{x+2}-\dfrac{2(x+2)}{x+2}

\implies g(x)=\dfrac{3-2(x+2)}{x+2}

\implies g(x)=\dfrac{3-2x-4}{x+2}

\implies g(x)=-\dfrac{2x+1}{x+2}

Therefore, as the inverse of f(x) ≠ g(x), the functions are NOT inverses of each other
