Answer:

Width=6.5 cm

Length=12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Express the lengths and widths

Width=w

Length=l, but 1 cm less than twice the width=(2×w)-1=2 w-1

Step 2: Solve for the length and width

A=L×W

where;

A=area of the photograph

L=length of the photograph

W=width of the photograph

In our case;

A=91 cm²

L=2 w-1

W=w

91=(2 w-1)w

2 w²-w=91

2 w²-w-91=0, is a quadratic equation

solve for w

w={-1±√(-1²-4×2×-91)}/(2×2)

w=(-1±27)/4

w=(27-1)/4=6.5, or (-1-27)/4=-8

Take w=6.5 cm

L=(2×6.5)-1=13-1=12 cm

Width=6.5 cm

Length=12 cm

Given below are the graphs of two lines, y=-0.5 + 5 and y=-1.25x + 8 and several regions and points are shown. Note that C is th

zalisa [80]

We have the following equations:

$(1) \ y=-0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y=-1.25x+8$

So we are asked to write a system of equations or inequalities for each region and each point.

Part a)

Region Example A

$y \leq -0.5x+5 \\ y \leq -1.25x+8$

Region B.

Let's take a point that is in this region, that is:

$P(0,6)$

So let's find out the signs of each inequality by substituting this point in them:

$y \ (?)-0.5x+5 \\ 6 \ (?) -0.5(0)+5 \\ 6 \ (?) \ 5 \\ 6\ \textgreater \ 5 \\ \\ y \ (?) \ -1.25x+8 \\ 6 \ (?) -1.25(0)+8 \\ 6 \ (?) \ 8 \\ 6\ \textless \ 8$

So the inequalities are:

$(1) \ y \geq -0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y \leq -1.25x+8$

Region C.

A point in this region is:

$P(0,10)$

So let's find out the signs of each inequality by substituting this point in them:

$y \ (?)-0.5x+5 \\ 10 \ (?) -0.5(0)+5 \\ 10 \ (?) \ 5 \\ 10\ \textgreater \ 5 \\ \\ y \ (?) \ -1.25x+8 \\ 10 \ (?) -1.25(0)+8 \\ 10 \ (?) \ 8 \\ 10 \ \ \textgreater \ \ 8$

So the inequalities are:

$(1) \ y \geq -0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y \geq -1.25x+8$

Region D.

A point in this region is:

$P(8,0)$

So let's find out the signs of each inequality by substituting this point in them:

$y \ (?)-0.5x+5 \\ 0 \ (?) -0.5(8)+5 \\ 0 \ (?) \ 1 \\ 0 \ \ \textless \ \ 1 \\ \\ y \ (?) \ -1.25x+8 \\ 0 \ (?) -1.25(8)+8 \\ 0 \ (?) \ -2 \\ 0 \ \ \textgreater \ \ -2$

So the inequalities are:

$(1) \ y \leq -0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y \geq -1.25x+8$

Point P:

This point is the intersection of the two lines. So let's solve the system of equations:

$(1) \ y=-0.5x+5 \\ (2) \ y=-1.25x+8 \\ \\ Subtracting \ these \ equations: \\ 0=0.75x-3 \\ \\ Solving \ for \ x: \\ x=4 \\ \\ Solving \ for \ y: \\ y=-0.5(4)+5=3$

Accordingly, the point is:

$\boxed{p(4,3)}$

Point q:

This point is the $x-intercept$ of the line:

$y=-0.5x+5$

So let:

$y=0$

Then

$x=\frac{5}{0.5}=10$

Therefore, the point is:

$\boxed{q(10,0)}$

Part b)

The coordinate of a point within a region must satisfy the corresponding system of inequalities. For each region we have taken a point to build up our inequalities. Now we will take other points and prove that these are the correct regions.

Region Example A

The origin is part of this region, therefore let's take the point:

$O(0,0)$

Substituting in the inequalities:

$y \leq -0.5x+5 \\ 0 \leq -0.5(0)+5 \\ \boxed{0 \leq 5} \\ \\ y \leq -1.25x+8 \\ 0 \leq -1.25(0)+8 \\ \boxed{0 \leq 8}$

It is true.

Region B.

Let's take a point that is in this region, that is:

$P(0,7)$

Substituting in the inequalities:

$y \geq -0.5x+5 \\ 7 \geq -0.5(0)+5 \\ \boxed{7 \geq \ 5} \\ \\ y \leq \ -1.25x+8 \\ 7 \ \leq -1.25(0)+8 \\ \boxed{7 \leq \ 8}$

It is true

Region C.

Let's take a point that is in this region, that is:

$P(0,11)$

Substituting in the inequalities:

$y \geq -0.5x+5 \\ 11 \geq -0.5(0)+5 \\ \boxed{11 \geq \ 5} \\ \\ y \geq \ -1.25x+8 \\ 11 \ \geq -1.25(0)+8 \\ \boxed{11 \geq \ 8}$

It is true

Region D.

Let's take a point that is in this region, that is:

$P(9,0)$

Substituting in the inequalities:

$y \leq -0.5x+5 \\ 0 \leq -0.5(9)+5 \\ \boxed{0 \leq \ 0.5} \\ \\ y \geq \ -1.25x+8 \\ 0 \geq -1.25(9)+8 \\ \boxed{0 \geq \ -3.25}$

It is true

What is the mean absolute deviation of 42 31 1 1 2 4 5 6 7 3

FromTheMoon [43]

The mean absolute deviation is 10.52.

<h3>What is the mean absolute deviation?</h3>

The mean absolute deviation of a dataset is the average distance between each data point and the mean. It is a measure of variation of a data set.

MAD =1/n ∑ l x - m(x) l

Where:

n = total numbers in the data set

x = number

m(x) - median

The first step is to determine the mean of the data set: (42 + 31 + 1 + 1 + 2 4+ 5 + 6 + 7 + 3) / 10 = 10.2

Find the absolute value of the difference between the number and the mean. Add the result | (42 - 10.2) + (31 - 10.2) + (1 _ 10.2) + (1 - 10.2) + (2 - 10.2) + (4 - 10.2) + (5 - 10.2) + (6 - 10.2) + (7 - 10.2) + (3 - 10.2) = 105.2

Divide the sum by the total number in the dataset = 105.2 / 10 = 10.52
