If A= (6,11), B= (1,5), and C= (7,0), show by means of slopes that ABC is a right triangle. Name the hypotenuse.

Since the product of AB and BC is -1, hence the ABC is a right triangle and the length AC is the hypotenuse

<h3>Right angled triangle</h3>

A right angles triangle is a triangle that has 3 sides and angles with one of its angles to be 90 degrees.

For the given coordinates to be a right angled triangle, one of the line must be perpendicular to the other and for two lines to be perpendicular, the product of its slope must be -1.

Find the slopes of AB, BC and AC

Slope of AB = 5-11/1-6
Slope of AB = -6/-5 = 6/5

Slope of BC = 0-5/7-1
Slope of BC = -5/6

Slope of AC = 0-11/7-6
Slope of AC = -11/1. = -11

Take the product of AB and BC
AB * BC = 6/5 * -5/6
AB * BC = -1

Since the product of AB and BC is -1, hence the ABC is a right triangle and the length AC is the hypotenuse

Question 1a - You have got this correct, the median mark is 35
Question 1b- To work out the range, you must do the largest value subtract the smallest value. For your data, this would be 57 - 13 = 44

Question 2 - You have drawn the lines in the correct places, but you have not used a ruler. In order to get full marks on a question like this you must use a ruler.

Question 3 - Your lower quartile and median is correct, to find the upper quartile, we do 3(n/4). 'n' is the number of data points - in this case 120.
120/4 = 30
30 x 3 = 90
Go across the graph at 90 to see when the line is hit.
From what I can tell, the Upper Quartile is 3.

Next just find the maximum value.
Again, by the looks of it, the Maximum value is 8.5.

Now you have all the data needed for the box plot.

Min = 0
LQ = 0.8
Med = 2.1
UQ =  3
Max = 8.5

Using this information, draw a box plot like you did on the previous question.
<em>Again, I must stress that any line that you draw (unless purposely curved) must be drawn with a ruler; even on the graph at the top, during you working out. If you do not use a ruler, marks can be lost/taken away.</em>

Question 4a - For the median on a cumulative frequency chart, you must find the halfway point in the data. For this, we do n/2. In this case, n = 40
40/2 = 20
Draw a line (using  ruler) across at 20 until you reach the line.
Draw another one down to help you read the number.
The median looks like 34 seconds.
Question 4b - For this question, we already know the Min, Med and Max. Now we must work out the LQ and UQ.

Remember, LQ = n/4
In this case, n = 40
40/4 = 10
Look across at ten and you will find that the LQ = 16 seconds

To work out the UQ, we multiply the LQ place by 3 3(n/4).
3 x 10 = 30
30 on the graph takes us up to 45 seconds.

We now know that the:
Min = 9
LQ = 16
Med = 34
UQ = 45
Max = 57

With this information, draw a box plot like you have in the previous questions.

Question 5 - Good things to always compare on box plots are the Min/Max/Range and the Inter Quartile Range.
The boys had a lowest minimum and a higher maximum, this means that their range is larger, resulting in a large spread of data in comparison to the girls.
The Inter Quartile Range is the difference between the Upper Quartile and the Lower Quartile (how wide the box is).
The boy IQR = 45 - 16 = 29
The girls IQR = 34 - 23 = 11
Again, the girls have much more concise results; even though they did not get the quickest result, they were more like one another.

Question 5a - The median in a box plot is always the line down the centre of the box. In this case:
Median = 24 marks
Question 5b - The IQR is always the UQ - LQ
With this data, the IQR is the following:
36 - 17 = 19 marks

Hope this helps

The function f(x) is an increasing function about which little else is known about other than f(2)=7 and f'(2)=5. Find (f^-1)'(7
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Since f(x) is (strictly) increasing, we know that it is one-to-one and has an inverse f^(-1)(x). Then we can apply the inverse function theorem. Suppose f(a) = b and a = f^(-1)(b). By definition of inverse function, we have

f^(-1)(f(x)) = x

Differentiating with the chain rule gives

(f^(-1))'(f(x)) f'(x) = 1

so that

(f^(-1))'(f(x)) = 1/f'(x)

Let x = a; then

(f^(-1))'(f(a)) = 1/f'(a)

(f^(-1))'(b) = 1/f'(a)

In particular, we take a = 2 and b = 7; then

(f^(-1))'(7) = 1/f'(2) = 1/5

I need help and please explain how to actually solve these please! Thankyou

Realize the tangent function has a period of 180°, so when your calculator (or memory) tells you
.. θ = arctan(-1)
.. θ = -45°
you can translate that value into the desired range by adding multiples of 180° to get the two solutions ...
.. θ = 135°
.. θ = 315°
