The median rainfall during a spring storm in the lowlands is about 4 mm less than a spring storm in the highlands. The mean rain

fall for the lowlands is about 3 mm less than for the highlands. Why is there a difference in the central measures for each data set?

Answer: The mean and the median are different because the data for the highlands has more variation than the data for the lowlands. The mean is affected by the outliers in the lowlands data.

There is a difference because in the spring, there may be more days of rain, therefore that would increase the mean for the spring compared to the other days.

Solve: 6x + 10 = 4x -8. Determine how many solutions? (exactly one, infinitely many, no solution)

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>x = - 9</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>6x + 10 = 4x - 8</em>

<em>6x - 4x = - 10 - 8</em>

<em>2x = - 18</em>

<em>x = - 18 : 2</em>

<em>x = - 9</em>

Solve the differential. This was in the 2016 VCE Specialist Maths Paper 1 and i'm a bit stuck

Nimfa-mama [501]

$\sqrt{2 - x^{2}} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2 - y}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{(2 - y)\sqrt{2 - x^{2}}}$

Now, isolate the variables, so you can integrate.
$(2 - y)dy = \frac{dx}{\sqrt{2 - x^{2}}}$
$\int (2 - y)\,dy = \int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{2 - x^{2}}}$
$2y - \frac{y^{2}}{2} = sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{2}C$

$4y - y^{2} = 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} + C$
$y^{2} - 4y = -2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$(y - 2)^{2} - 4 = -2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$(y - 2)^{2} = 4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C$

$y - 2 = \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$
$y = 2 \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$

At x = 1, y = 0.
$0 = 2 \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$
$-2 = \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$

$4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C > 0$
$\therefore 2 = \sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$

$4 = 4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$0 = -2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$C = -2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = -2\frac{\pi}{4}$
$C = -\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore y = 2 - \sqrt{4 + \frac{\pi}{2} - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}}$
