50 ! the function h(x) = x2 + 6x + 7 represents a parabola. part a: rewrite the function in vertex form by completing the square. show your work. part b: determine the vertex and indicate whether it is a maximum or a minimum on the graph. how do you know? part c: determine the axis of symmetry for h(x).

Aregular hexagon rotates counterclockwise about its center. it turns through angles greater than 0° and less than or equal to 360°. at how many different angles will the hexagon map onto itself?

Factor the polynomial 4x4 – 20x2 – 3x2 + 15 by grouping. what is the resulting expression? (4x2 + 3)(x2 – 5) (4x2 – 3)(x2 – 5) (4x2 – 5)(x2 + 3) (4x2 + 5)(x2 – 3)

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) without doing any computations, order the data sets according to increasing value of standard deviations. (i), (iii), (ii) (ii), (i), (iii) (iii), (i), (ii) (iii), (ii), (i) (i), (ii), (iii) (ii), (iii), (i) (b) why do you expect the difference in standard deviations between data sets (i) and (ii) to be greater than the difference in standard deviations between data sets (ii) and (iii)? hint: consider how much the data in the respective sets differ from the mean. the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). the data change between data sets (ii) and (iii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (i) and (ii). the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) decreased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). none of the above
