Step-by-step explanation:
the leading coefficient means the coefficient (factor) of the term with the highest exponent of the variable (typically x).
with sufficiently large values of this variable (x - going far enough to the right) this term will "win" in value against any other term of the polynomial expression.
and therefore the sign of its factor (coefficient) will determine, if the curve will go up or down.
a positive factor (coefficient) will make the value of this term and therefore of the whole polynomial larger and larger, making the curve going up to +infinity.
a negative factor (coefficient) will make the value of this term and therefore of the whole polynomial smaller and smaller (more negative and more negative), making the curve going down to -infinity.
You need 19 because the median would be the middle of 17 and 19 which would be 18
I am going to do this problem with more of an algebraic approach weather or not its the way your teacher wants you to do it like this.
The way to do things algebraically is to just set variables for what you want to find and set up equations to represent each sentence.
As seen there are hamburgers and chickens in this problem. So let's set the numbers of hamburgers to x, and the numbers of chickens to y.
Now write out each sentence using variables.
1.) Tia sold 78 hamburgers and chicken tenders.
x+y=78
2.) If she sold 24 more hamburgers than chicken tenders.
x=y+24
Now that we have the 2 equations, its time to solve.
Since we have x=y+24, we can replace the x in the first equation with the second equation
y+24+y=78
2y+24=78
Now we can subtract 24 from both sides.
2y=54
Simplify
y=27
Solve for x
x=27+24=51
Done!
I think it’s pretty interpretative, the reason I didn’t divide 483/2 like you would normally with a triangle, is because there are 2 triangles in a trapezoid. Also you can split the two triangles off the trapezoid because in a trapezoid the train for will awkward be right.
