Y=1 because no matter the x value y will be 1
The box and whisker plot is attached.
We first order the data from least to greatest:
6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 15, 19, 21
The median is the middle value, or 14.
The lower quartile is the median of the lower half (split by the median). This is between 7 and 11: (7+11)/2 = 18/2 = 9
The upper quartile is the median of the upper half (split by the median). This is between 15 and 19: (15+19)/2 = 34/2 = 17
The highest value is 21.
The lowest value is 6.
We draw the middle line of the box at 14, the median. We draw the left side of the box at the lower quartile, 9. We draw the right side of the box at the upper quartile, 17. From the right side of the box, we draw a whisker to the highest value, 21. From the left side of the box, we draw a whisker to the lowest value, 6.
The sides of the triangle are given as 1, x, and x².
The principle of triangle inequality requires that the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be equal to, or greater than the third side.
Consider 3 cases
Case (a): x < 1,
Then in decreasing size, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
We require that x² + x ≥ 1
Solve x² + x - 1 =
x = 0.5[-1 +/- √(1+4)] = 0.618 or -1.618.
Reject the negative length.
Therefore, the lengths are 0.382, 0.618 and 1.
Case (b): x = 1
This creates an equilateral triangle with equal sides
The sides are 1, 1 and 1.
Case (c): x>1
In increasing order, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
We require that x + 1 ≥ x²
Solve x² - x - 1 = 0
x = 0.5[1 +/- √(1+4)] = 1.6118 or -0.618
Reject the negative answr.
The lengths are 1, 1.618 and 2.618.
Answer:
The possible lengths of the sides are
(a) 0.382, 0.618 and 1
(b) 1, 1 and 1.
(c) 2.618, 1.618 and 1.
