The bar graph shows the differences among political identification groups on the Implicit Association Test that measure levels of racial prejudice. Higher scores indicate stronger bias.
a. The data can be described by the following polynomial model of degree 3:
S = −0.02x3 + 0.4x2 + 1.2x + 22 + (−0.01x3 – 0.2x2 + 1.1x + 2).
In this polynomial model, S represents the score on the Implicit Association Test for political identification group x. Simplify the model.
b. Use the simplified form of the model from part (a) to find the score on the Implicit Association Test for the slightly conservative political identification group. Does the model underestimate or overestimate the score displayed by the bar graph? By how much?

Prove that some edge of W repeats immediately (once in each direction).arrow_forward1.2.18. (!) Let G be the graph whose vertex set is the set of k-tuples with elements in (0, 1), with x adjacent to y if x and y differ in exactly two positions. Determine the number of components of G.arrow_forward
- 1.2.17. (!) Let G,, be the graph whose vertices are the permutations of (1,..., n}, with two permutations a₁, ..., a,, and b₁, ..., b, adjacent if they differ by interchanging a pair of adjacent entries (G3 shown below).

(-) In the graph below (the paw), find all the maximal paths, maximal cliques, and maximal independent sets. Also find all the maximum paths, maximum cliques, and maximum independent sets.arrow_forward1.2.13. Alternative proofs that every u, v-walk contains a u, v-path (Lemma 1.2.5). a) (ordinary induction) Given that every walk of length 1-1 contains a path from its first vertex to its last, prove that every walk of length / also satisfies this. b) (extremality) Given a u, v-walk W, consider a shortest u, u-walk contained in W.arrow_forward
