Answer:

10 units.

2√7 units.

- (or 5.29 units to the nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the 2 sides are legs of the triangle ( that is they are at 90 degrees to each other) the third side, by Pythagoras  theorem:

=  √(6^2 + 8^2)

=  √100

= 10 units.

The other possibility is that 8 is the length of the hypotenuse, in which case

The third side

=  √(8^2 - 6^2)

=  √28

= 2√7 units.

What is the root of the polynomial equation x(x-2)(x+3) = 18? Use a graphing calculator and a system of equations.
Trava [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be rewritten to make use of the graphing calculator's ability to identify function zeros:

  x(x -2)(x +3) -18 = 0

The attached shows x = 3 is the only real solution.

_____

We're not sure what "system of equations" is intended. Perhaps it is ...

  y = 18

  y = x(x -2)(x +3)

To create the expression we graphed, we effectively subtracted the first equation from the second.

I don’t know if there is an outlier or not how can you tell
SIZIF [17.4K]
To find an outlier, multiply the IQR by 1.5

172,500 * 1.5 = 258,750

now, u add that to Q3.....545,000 + 258,750 = 803,750....anything above this number is an outlier

now,u subtract that from Q1....372,500 - 258,750 = 113,750....anything below that is an outlier

u have already done this...u have found the higher end and the lower end....so anyting larger then the higher end or lower then the lower end is ur outlier

so in ur data, there is only 1 outlier and that is 933.....130 is not an outlier because it is not less then 113,750.
