Hi!

First, find the median of the original data set. 

Arrange the numbers in order,
2, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 18, 20, 24
Then find the middle number.
2, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 18, 20, 24

Now add the number 10.
2, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 18, 20, 24
Find the new middle number.
2, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 18, 20, 24
                 7.5

The first median was 7, the new one is 7.5. 

The median increases by 0.5.

Hope this helps! :)

Mandarinka [93]

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

So slope intercept form is The office manager of a small office ordered 140 packs of printer paper based on average daily use, she knows that the paper will last about 80 days

(A) Lets make a table

X axis represents the Number of days paper used

y axis represents the packs of printer paper used

x            y

days      packs of printer paper used

0            0               (0 days , 0 packs used)

80          140           (in 80 days , 140 packs paper used)

The graph is attached below

(B) To find Equation of a line we use points (0,0)  and (80,140)

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{140-0}{80-0} = \frac{7}{4}

y intecept is (0,0)

so b= 4

Slope intercept form of a line i y=mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

So slope intercept form of line becomes

y= \frac{7}{4} x

Standard form is Ax + By =C

y= \frac{7}{4} x

Multiply both sides by 4

4y = 7x

Now subtract 7x on both sides

-7x + 4y =0 is the standard form

(c) To find packs of printer paper  the manager expect to have after 30 days, Plug in 30 for x  and find out y

y= \frac{7}{4} x

y= \frac{7}{4}(30)= 52.5

Total 140 packs of printer paper

52.5 packs of paper used

Packs of paper remaining after 30 days = 140- 52.5= 87.5

We want to find the zeros of this polynomial:<br> p(x)= 3x^3 – 3x^2– 18x
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

x=0   x=3   x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)= 3x^3 – 3x^2– 18x

Factor out the greatest common factor, 3x

p(x)= 3x (x^2 – x– 6)

Factor inside the parentheses

What 2 numbers multiplies to -6 and adds to -1

-3*2 = -6

-3+2 = -1

p(x)= 3x (x-3)(x+2)

Setting the function equal to zero to find the zeros

0 = 3x (x-3)(x+2)

Using the zero product property

3x = 0  x-3 =0   x+2 =0

x=0   x=3   x=-2
