Answer:

The median is 26

Step-by-step explanation:

A "median" is equivalent to when the terms are arranged in the proper order, whichever term is in the "middle".

So- first, arrange the terms in ascending order.

[22, 22, 23, 23, 29, 29, 29, 31]

There are an even number- eight- terms in total, so we will take the average of the two "middle" terms.

(29+23)/2; 29 and 23 are the "middle" terms, and there are two of them.

(52)/2 = 26

Therefore, the median is 26.

I hope this helped! :)

Hello!

In order to find the median of a dataset, we should first order the numbers in the dataset from least to greatest:

29, 22, 23, 31, 29, 29, 22, 23

The smallest number is 22, then 23, then 29, then 31:

22, 22, 23, 23, 29, 29, 29, 31

How many numbers are in this set? 8. An even number!

So we find the mean of the 2 numbers in the middle (23 & 29)

We add these numbers and then divide by 2 (because we have 2 numbers)

$\bf{\displaystyle\frac{23+29}{2}}$

$\bf{\displaystyle\frac{52}{2}}$

Which is equal to

$\boxed{\bigstar{\text{Answer:{\boxed{\boxed{26}}}}}}$

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Answer:

C. x³+10x²−5x+5

E. 7x⁵+4x²

F. x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph they described should look something like the one i drew below.

So all you have to do is look at the number with the highest exponent.

If the exponent is an odd number and the x is positive then that function will have an end behavior like the picture i posted.

x³ is good

-x³ is bad because of the negative sign

x² is bad because exponent is even

x⁷ is good

123x¹ is good

Which of the functions below could have created this graph?

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two facts need to guide your answer.

One

The highest power is odd: you know this because an even power would start on the left come down do it's squiggles if had any and wind up on the right going up.

This graph comes down on the left does it's squiggles and then goes further down on the right. That's the behavior of something whose highest power is odd.

Two

The leading coefficient, the number in front of the highest power must be minus. If it was positive as in y = x^3 the graph would be the mirror image of what it is.

Argument

B and D cannot be true. The highest power is even.

C is false because the leading coefficient is + 1.

So that leave A which is the answer.
