Find the median of: 1, 3, 4, 6, 2, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3, 1, 4, 0, 4, 4, 4, 8, 9, 7, 4

Solution,
Arranging the data in ascending order:
0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,6,6,7,8,9
N(total number of items)= 20
Now,
Median:
![(\frac{n + 1}{2)} ) ^{th \: item} \\ = (\frac{20 + 1}{2} ) ^{th \: item} \\ = \frac{21}{2} \\ = 10.5 \: th \: \: item](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%28%5Cfrac%7Bn%20%2B%201%7D%7B2%29%7D%20%29%20%5E%7Bth%20%5C%3A%20item%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%20%20%28%5Cfrac%7B20%20%2B%201%7D%7B2%7D%20%29%20%5E%7Bth%20%5C%3A%20item%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B21%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%2010.5%20%5C%3A%20th%20%5C%3A%20%5C%3A%20item)
Again,
Median:
![\frac{10 \: th \: item + 11 \: th \: item}{2} \\ = \frac{4 + 4}{2} \\ = \frac{8}{2} \\ = 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B10%20%20%5C%3A%20th%20%5C%3A%20item%20%2B%2011%20%5C%3A%20th%20%5C%3A%20item%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B4%20%2B%204%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%204)
1) surface of a rectangular prism=2(length x width)+2(length x height)+2(width x height)
Therefore:
148 cm²=2(5 cm x 4 cm)+2(5 cm x h)+2(4 cm x h)=
148 cm²=40 cm²+10 cm h+8 cm h
18 cm h=148 cm²-40 cm²
18 cm h=108 cm²
h=108 cm² / 18 cm=6 cm.
answer: height=6 cm
2)
Volume of a rectangular prism= length x width x height
therefore:
34 cm³=(1.7 cm)(0.5 cm) h
0.85 cm² h=34 cm³
h=34 cm³/0.85 cm²
h=40 cm.
answer: height=40 cm
3)
volume of a cylinder: πr²h
therefore.
118.79 ft³=πr²(5 ft)
r=√(118.79 ft³/5π ft)≈2.75 ft
answer: radius=2.75 ft
4)
Surface area of the pyramid with square base=4(A side)+A base
A side=(1/2)(8ft)(12 ft)=48 ft²
A base=(8 ft)(8 ft)=64 ft²
surface area=4(48 ft²)+64 ft²=256 ft²
Answer: the surface area of this pyramid would be 256 ft².
5)
surface of a cone=πrs+πr²
therefore:
radius=diameter/2=6.2 ft/2=3.1 ft
63.3 ft²=π(3.1 ft) s+π(3.1 ft)²
3.1π ft s=33.109 ft²
s=33.109 ft² /3.1π ft
s≈3.4 ft
Answer: the slant height would be 3.4 ft.
6)
volume of a square pyramid=(area of base x heigth)/3
therefore:
area of base=(6 ft)(6 ft)=36 ft²
126.97 ft³=36 ft² h /3
h=126.97 ft³/12 ft²=10.58 ft
answer: the height would be 10.58 ft.
7)
volume of a cone =(base x height)/3
base of a cone=πr²
therefore:
199.23 cm³=πr²(9 cm)/3
r=√(199.23 cm³ / 3π cm)≈4.6 cm
answer: the radius would be 4.6 cm.
Answer:
t > 3 or (3,∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
It factors to (x+12)(x-12)
This is the same as (x-12)(x+12) as we can multiply two expressions in any order we want. This is like saying 7*5 is the same as 5*7
I used the difference of squares rule to factor x^2 - 144. It might help to write x^2 - 144 as x^2 - 12^2, then compare it to a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
