The median is a halfway point in the set of data.
List the numbers in order from smallest to largest:
111, 129, 144, 149, 152, 162, 166, 171
Because there are an even number of values in the data set, find the two middle numbers, add them together and then divide by 2:
Median = ( 149 + 152 ) /2
Median = 150.5
Well plug 0 in for x and solve for y and that is the vertex of your expression
The grandparents that shop at Greggslist was 3 out of the 25 sampled. That gives us a ratio of 3/25. Convert this to decimal by dividing 3 by 25 and your answer is
3/25 = 0.12
Answer #3
We want to solve 9a² = 16a for a.
Because the a is on both sides, a good strategy is to get all the a terms on one side and set it equal to zero. Then we apply the Zero Product Property (if the product is zero then so are its pieces and Factoring.
9a² = 16a
9a² - 16a = 0 <-----subtract 16a from both sides
a (9a - 16) = 0 <-----factor the common a on the left side
a = 0 OR 9a - 16 =0 <----apply Zero Product Property
Since a = 0 is already solved we work on the other equation.
9a - 16 = 0
9a = 16 <----------- add 16 to both sides
a = 16/9 <----------- divide both sides by 9
Thus a = 0 or a = 16/9
