For an exponential regression equation in the form y=ab^x , a value of 1.101 for b will cause y to get larger as x gets larger true or false

This is my question~~ ( r ^ 4 - 2r ^ 3 - 23 r ^ 2 - 4r - 32)÷(r+4) ~~ i must use long division to solve it : / i was wondering if anyone world like to solve it. and if so, share step-by-step explanations! you! ❤

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

Solve the equation: x - 9 = -6 + 5 a. 21 b. 7 c. 14 d. 2
