Write the function representing the graph

The function representing the graph is described by two equations, depending on the "x" value

f(x) = (1/3)x + 3 , if x is greater than -3.

f(x) = -x - 5 , if x is less than -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to realize that the graph is described by two functions depending on the "x" value and that it is not defined in x= -3.

Then, for "x" values greater than -3, we look at the right line and we took 2 couple of points (-3,2) and (0,3). Using the formula for the slope and the interception with y axis

Slope = y2- y1 / x2- x1 = 3 - 2/ 0 - (-3) ⇒ slope = 1/3.

Interception with "y" axis y= 3

⇒ f(x) = (1/3) x + 3.

For "x" values minor than -3, we have to look the left line. Here we used the slope formula and points (-3, -2) and (-5, 0)

Slope = 0 - (-2)/ -5 - (-3) =-1. So, f(x) = -x + b.

Finally we use one of the points to replace in the formula of f(x) to find "b".

-2 = - (-3) + b ⇒ b = -5. ⇒ f(x) = - x -5

Summarizing, f(x) = (1/3)x + 3 , if x is greater than -3.

                      f(x) = -x - 5 , if x is less than -3.

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
