A family of four (two kids and two parents) spend the day at an amusement park. At the end of the day, the family adds up all of

the receipts from their meals: $16.25, $17.96, $3.58, $4.61, $5.23. What is the mean and median cost spent? What does the mean cost represent? Why is the mean cost significantly different from the median cost? Which measurement of central tendency is a better representation of the amount of money that the family spent at the amusement park?

A family of four spent the following for their meals $16.25, $17.96, $3.58, $4.61, $5.23.

Mean cost spent is calculated by:

Total Cost/Number of Meals

(16.25+17.96+3.58+4.61+5.23)/5

47.63/5

$9.53

Mean Cost represents the average amount per meal the family has spent.

Median cost is the cost that in the middle of the five costs which is $5.23.

<span>The mean cost is significantly different from the median cost because it is higher.</span>

Median cost is a better representation of the amount of money that the family spent because, with<span> regard to meal costs, this means that exactly half of the meals in the amusement park are above this price ($5.23) and exactly half are below. </span>

A 91 square foot bathroom has a length of 13 feet. what is the width of the bathroom
Radda [10]
<span>The answer is 7 ft. The bathroom has rectangular shape. The area (A) of a rectangle is the product of the width (w) and length (l): A = w * h. The bathroom is rectangular. We know that A = 91 ft^2 and l = 13 ft. Let's substitute them in the formula for the area: 91 ft^2 = w * 13 ft. w = 91 ft^2 : 13 ft. w = 7 ft. The width of the bathroom is 7 ft.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>

Find the equation of all tangent lines having slope of -1 that are tangent to the curve y=(9)/(x+1)
fredd [130]

Answer:

f(x)=\frac9{x+1}\\ f'(x)=-\frac9{(x+1)^2}\\ f'(x)=-1\ \iff\ -\frac9{(x+1)^2}=-1\ \to \ \frac9{(x+1)^2}=1\ \to \ (x+1)^2=9\\ |x+1|=3\ \to \ x+1=3\ \vee\ x+1=-3\\ x_1=2\ \vee\ x_2=-4\\ f(x_1)=f(2)=\frac9{2+1}=3\\ f(x_2)=f(-4)=\frac9{-4+1}=-3

First tangent line:

y=f'(x_1)\cdot (x-x_1)+f(x_1)\ \to \ y=-1(x-2)+3\ \to \ y=-x+5

Second tangent line:

y=f'(x_2)\cdot (x-x_2)+f(x_2)\ \to \ y=-1(x+4)-3\ \to \ y=-x-7


Notice: slope of -1 means that both f'(x_1), \ f'(x_2) are equal to -1, so f'(x_1)=-1 \ and \ f'(x_2)=-1

2 6 + 3 * 4 2 + 7 * - 2 /
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

26 + 3 x 42 + 7 x -2 = 138

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok bud, first step we must convert our symbols (Makes it easier to solve)

26 + 3 x 42 + 7 x -2

* subsitutes for multiplication.

I recommend using PEMDAS at times:

1 - Parentheses

2 - Exponents and Roots

3 - Multiplication

4 - Division

5 - Addition

6 - Subtraction

Yet again your numbers were spaced out could they be exponents? if so:

3x^{42}+7x+24

Our answer would round to 24 but he equation was not put in a valid or straight forward way.
