Answer:
median
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to sort the numbers from largest to smallest (you could go the other way as well).
60 52 48 44 20 16 12
The median is the middle number 44 in this case. The median has 3 numbers on its left and 3 on its right (in this case). 44 has 60 52 48 or its left and 20 16 and 12 on its right.
The mean is the average. We'll call it the new average
The mean is 60 + 52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = 252
The new mean is 252 / 7 = 36
=====================
The old median is the average between the middle 2 numbers (before you added 60 you had 6 numbers)
52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = the average of 44 + 20 which 64/2 = 32
The old mean was (52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12)/6 = 32.
=======================
The median increased from 44 to 32 = 12
The mean went from 32 to 36 which is 4
Answer: the median increased more
Answer:
they are not parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
they intersect eachother
1) Road Trip: Let’s say two friends are meeting at a playground. Mary is already at the park but her friend Bob needs to get there taking the shortest path possible. Bob has two way he can go - he can follow the roads getting to the park - first heading south 3 miles, then heading west four miles. The total distance covered following the roads will be 7 miles. The other way he can get there is by cutting through some open fields and walk directly to the park. If we apply Pythagoras's theorem to calculate the distance you will get:
(3)<span>2 </span>+ (4)2 =
9 + 16 = C2
√25 = C
5 Miles. = C
Walking through the field will be 2 miles shorter than walking along the roads. .
2) Painting on a Wall: Painters use ladders to paint on high buildings and often use the help of Pythagoras' theorem to complete their work. The painter needs to determine how tall a ladder needs to be in order to safely place the base away from the wall so it won't tip over. In this case the ladder itself will be the hypotenuse. Take for example a painter who has to paint a wall which is about 3 m high. The painter has to put the base of the ladder 2 m away from the wall to ensure it won't tip. What will be the length of the ladder required by the painter to complete his work? You can calculate it using Pythagoras' theorem:
(5)<span>2 </span>+ (2)2 =
25 + 4 = C2
√100 = C
5.3 m. = C
Thus, the painter will need a ladder about 5 meters high.
3) Buying a Suitcase: Mr. Harry wants to purchase a suitcase. The shopkeeper tells Mr. Harry that he has a 30 inch of suitcase available at present and the height of the suitcase is 18 inches. Calculate the actual length of the suitcase for Mr. Harry using Pythagoras' theorem. It is calculated this way:
(18)<span>2 </span>+ (b)2 = (30)2
324 + b2 = 900
B2 = 900 – 324
b= √576
= 24 inches
Answer:
(x - 5)(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve x² - 2x = 15, we need to get all the terms on one side so we can solve the quadratic equation using factoring. to do this, we subtract 15 from both sides
x² - 2x = 15
- 15 -15
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
now we can factor. we need 2 numbers that when multiplied together give us -15, and when those 2 numbers are added together we get -2
because we have a -15, we can assume that one number must be negative and the other positive, as a negative times a postive is a negative.
we can use 3 and -5 as factors and test it out. we put x in front because we have an x²
(x - 5)(x + 3) < we can FOIL to check to see if this is correct. its not mandatory to check but when you arent sure of the answer you can FOIL it out
FOIL stands for: First, Outside, Inside, and Last terms
F: (x - 5)(x + 3) = x²
O: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -3x
I: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 5x
L: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -15
x² + 3x - 5x - 15 < subtract 3x from 5x
x² - 2x - 15
this checks out, so our answer is (x - 5)(x + 3)
