The dot plot uses dots to for data representation.

  • <em>The dot plot is right skewed</em>
  • <em>There is an outlier, 9.</em>
  • <em>The best measure of center is median</em>

<u>(a) The description</u>

From the dot plot (see attachment), we have the following observations,

  • <em>There are more data at the left-hand side, than the right-hand side of the dot plot.</em>
  • <em>There is only one data element at the right-hand side</em>

<em />

This means that the dot plot is right skewed

<u>(b) Outlier</u>

From the dot plot, we can see that 9 is relatively far from the other data elements.

This means that 9 is outlier

<u>(c) Measure of center</u>

In (b), we established that the dot plot has an outlier.

When there is an outlier, the best measure of center to use is the median.

<em>Hence, the median will be used as the measure.</em>

Find the LCM and the GCF of 100 and 120.
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM is least common multiple. It means the least multiple that both 100 and 120 have in common. 600 is the LCM. 20 is the GCF.

5. Show that the following points are collinear. a) (1, 2), (4, 5), (8,9) ​
Irina-Kira [14]

Label the points A,B,C

  • A = (1,2)
  • B = (4,5)
  • C = (8,9)

Let's find the distance from A to B, aka find the length of segment AB.

We use the distance formula.

A = (x_1,y_1) = (1,2) \text{ and } B = (x_2, y_2) = (4,5)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(1-4)^2 + (2-5)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 9}\\\\d = \sqrt{18}\\\\d = \sqrt{9*2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2}\\\\d = 3\sqrt{2}\\\\

Segment AB is exactly 3\sqrt{2} units long.

Now let's find the distance from B to C

B = (x_1,y_1) = (4,5) \text{ and } C = (x_2, y_2) = (8,9)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(4-8)^2 + (5-9)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{32}\\\\d = \sqrt{16*2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16}*\sqrt{2}\\\\d = 4\sqrt{2}\\\\

Segment BC is exactly 4\sqrt{2} units long.

Adding these segments gives

AB+BC = 3\sqrt{2}+4\sqrt{2} = 7\sqrt{2}

----------------------

Now if A,B,C are collinear then AB+BC should get the length of AC.

AB+BC = AC

Let's calculate the distance from A to C

A = (x_1,y_1) = (1,2) \text{ and } C = (x_2, y_2) = (8,9)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(1-8)^2 + (2-9)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-7)^2 + (-7)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{49 + 49}\\\\d = \sqrt{98}\\\\d = \sqrt{49*2}\\\\d = \sqrt{49}*\sqrt{2}\\\\d = 7\sqrt{2}\\\\

AC is exactly 7\sqrt{2} units long.

Therefore, we've shown that AB+BC = AC is a true equation.

This proves that A,B,C are collinear.

How do I differentiate this?​
disa [49]

Answer:

\frac{8}{\left(-x+2\right)^2} & x = 1, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure you are familiar with the product rule,

If y = u*v => dy/dx = u * dv/dx + v * dy/dx <----- product rule

In this case:

u=3x+2,\:v=\left(2-x\right)^{-1},\\=>\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x+2\right)\left(2-x\right)^{-1}+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(2-x\right)^{-1}\right)\left(3x+2\right)

Now remember the sum rule:

\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x+2\right) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(3x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(2\right),\\\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x\right) = 3,\\\frac{d}{dx}\left(2\right)  = 0\\\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x+2\right) = 3

For this second bit we apply the chain rule:

\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(2-x\right)^{-1}\right) = -\frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}\frac{d}{dx}\left(2-x\right),\\\frac{d}{dx}\left(2-x\right) = -1,\\\\=> -\frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}\left(-1\right)\\=> \frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}

If we substitute these values back into the expression...\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x+2\right)\left(2-x\right)^{-1}+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(2-x\right)^{-1}\right)\left(3x+2\right)

...we get the following:

3\left(2-x\right)^{-1}+\frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}\left(3x+2\right)

The rest is just pure simplification:

3\left(2-x\right)^{-1}+\frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}\left(3x+2\right)\\= \frac{3}{-x+2}+\frac{3x+2}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}\\= \frac{3\left(-x+2\right)}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}+\frac{3x+2}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}\\\\= \frac{3\left(-x+2\right)+3x+2}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}\\\\= \frac{8}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}

Now let's equate this to equal 8 for the second bit and solve for x:

\frac{8}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}=8,\\\frac{8}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}\left(-x+2\right)^2=8\left(-x+2\right)^2,\\8=8\left(-x+2\right)^2,\\\left(-x+2\right)^2=1,\\x = 1, x = 3
