The Kroger Company is one of the largest grocery retailers in the United States, over 2000 grocery stores across the country. Kroger uses an online customer questionnaire to obtain performance data about its products and services and about what motivates its customers (Kroger website, April 2012). In the Kroger customers were asked if they would be willing to pay more for had each of the following four characteristics. The four questions were: pay more forproducts that have a brand name?products that are environmentally friendly?products that are organic?products that have been recommended by others?For each question, the customers had the option of responding Yes if they or No if they would not pay more. a. Are the data collected by Kroger in this example categorical orb. What measurement scale is used?

A) Categorical

B) Nominal

Step-by-step explanation:

 As we can see from the data that the question only had two answers i-e Yes or no so therefore they were categorical rather than quantitative in which he would have asked the user for how much money they were willing to pay more.

It's nominal because he asked in terms of more or less rather than some specific number

answer: b. f(x) = (x + 2)^3 (x^2 - 7x + 3)^4

step-by-step explanation:

polynomials always have as many roots as their order. this is a 4th order polynomial- hence 4 roots!

complex roots of polynomials always come in pairs. the quadratic equation has the "+/-" in that will alwaysgenerate m+ni amd m-ni, so 7-2i must be a root of this polynomial equation.

the order of the numerator and denominator are both 2. so the horizontal asymptote is y=a2/b2 =7

verticle asymptotes are the forbidden x-values. f(x) becomes undefined at x=-3 because this value will cause a zero denominator.

a graph of r(x) will have vertical asymptotes at ±1 because these values will make the denominator zero. so the domain of the function cannot include ±1.

you 're wlecome! : )
