In persuasive texts, writers use rhetorical devices, patterns of writing that seek to sway their readers by emphasizing ideas and stirring readers' emotions. Examples include parallelism, anaphora, antithesis, and repetition.

One integer is 5 more than another. their product is 104. find the integers

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

Which polynomial equation of least degree has -2, -2, 3, and 3 as four of its roots? (x + 2)(x - 3) = 0 (x - 2)-2(x + 3)3 = 0 (x-2 + 2)(x2- 3) = 0 (x + 2)2(x - 3)2 = 0
