To ease your problem, consider "L" as you x-axis
Then the coordinate become:
A(- 4 , 3) and B(1 , 2) [you notice that just the y's changed]
This is a reflection problem.
Reflect point B across the river line "L" to get B', symmetric of B about L.
The coordinates of B'(1 , -1) [remember L is our new x-axis]
JOIN A to B' . AB' intersect L, say in H
We have to find the shortest way such that AH + HB = shortest.
But HB = HB' (symmetry about L) , then I can write instead of
AH + HB →→ AH + HB'. This is the shortest since the shortest distance between 2 points is the straight line and H is the point requiered
When surface area is minimized, that means the less material companies would have to use for the can. Companies can spend less money on aluminum for the can and still hold the same amount of that beverage inside the can.
The state should charge rain tax for businesses that cause most environmental damage due to runoff from their paved areas
Answer:
Mean = 3640
Mode = 4100
Median = 3830.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following data in the question:
Strength of casts (in psi):
3970,4100,3100,3200,2950,3830,4100,4050,3460
Formula:


Mode is the entry with most frequency. Thus, for the given sample mode = 4100.
Median
Since n = 9 is odd,
Formula:

Data in ascending order:
2950,3100,3200,3460,3830,3970,4050,4100,4100
Median = 5th term = 3830.
