Answer:

$(x-5)(x+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the equation, break it into two binomials which multiply to make the equation. To write these binomials (x+a)(x+b), find factors which multiply to -20 and add to -1 for a and b.

20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

-5+4 = -1

$x^2-x-20 = (x-5)(x+4)$

Look at the graph shown below:

ElenaW [278]

So.. take a peek at the picture... let's get two points from it, hmm say 0,4 notice it touches the y-axis there, and say hmmm -4, 1, almost at the bottom of the line

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ -4}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-4}{-4-0}$

$\bf y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{plug in the values for }
\begin{cases}
y_1=4\\
x_1=0\\
m=\boxed{?}
\end{cases}\\
\textit{and solve for "y"}
\end{array}\\
\left. \qquad \right. \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}$

once you get the slope and solve for "y", that'd be the equation of the line.

What is the median of this data set?

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the median is the middle number when the data set is in order least to greatest so you already have it in least to greatest so thank you for helping me.

and for extra just in case.

Mean=16.222

the mean= the average of the data set

Mode is 13,14

The mode is the number that appears the most in a data set and 13 and 14 appear twice.

Your range is=13

Range is the highest number subtracting the lowest number so 24 -11 which =13

Minimum is 11 because the minimum is the lowest number in data set..

Maximum is 24

Maximum is the highest number in the data set.

I hope this helps have a awesome day:)
