Answer: 3^15</h3>
Work Shown:
3^12 * 27
3^12 * 3^3
3^(12+3)
3^15
I used the rule a^b*a^c = a^(b+c) on the third step.
the data represents the heights of fourteen basketball players, in inches. 69, 70, 72, 72, 74, 74, 74, 75, 76, 76, 76, 77, 77, 8

If you would like to know the interquartile range of the new set and the interquartile range of the original set, you can do this using the following steps:
<span>The interquartile range is the difference between the third and the first quartiles.
The original set: </span>69, 70, 72, 72, 74, 74, 74, 75, 76, 76, 76, 77, 77, 82
Lower quartile: 72
Upper quartile: 76.25
Interquartile range: upper quartile - lower quartile = 76.25 - 72 = <span>4.25
</span>
The new set: <span>70, 72, 72, 74, 74, 74, 75, 76, 76, 76, 77, 77
</span>Lower quartile: 72.5
Upper quartile: 76
Interquartile range: upper quartile - lower quartile = 76 - 72.5 = 3.5
The correct result would be: T<span>he interquartile range of the new set would be 3.5. The interquartile range of the original set would be more than the new set.</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can rewrite the question as (x-5)*(x-5).
Using the FOIL Method (First, Outside, Inside, Last):

This simplifies to 
Answer:
Let x = the third side
In a triangle, the sum of any 2 sides must be larger than the third side.
I believe this is called the triangle inequality theorem.
We can construct 3 inequalities to obtain the range of values for the third side.
(Inequality #1) 12 + 4 > x
16 > x
(Inequality#2) 12 + x > 4
x > -8 (we can discard this ... we know all sides will be positive)
(Inequality #3) 4 + x > 12
x > 8
So when we combine these together,
8 < x < 16
X (the third side) must be a number between 8 and 16. but not including 8 and 16
