8 A teacher writes the algebraic expression 24c + 5m + 19.99 to represent the cost
of supplies she purchased for her classroom. She bought 24 packages of colored
pencils, 5 packages of markers, and a beanbag chair. Identify any variables,
coefficients, and terms in the expression. Tell what each represents.
9 Write a situation that could be represented by the algebraic expression 3s + 2.15.

Factor the following expression. 27y3 – 343 a. (3y + 7)(9y2 + 2ly + 49) b. (3y – 7)(9y2 + 2ly + 49) c. (3y – 7)(932 – 217 + 49) d. (3y + 7)(92 – 2ly + 49)

Kevin's bank offered him a 4.5% interest rate for his mortgage. if he purchases 3 points, what will be his new rate?

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
