Answer:
A. Miguel has the greatest spread.
The range of the two persons can be determined by:
Adam's range = 106 -91
= 15
Miguel's range = 105 -86
= 19
B. Considering the middle 50% of the training time, the person with the least spread is Adam.
Adam - 103 105 104 106 100
Miguel - 88 86 89 93 105
Adam's 50% range = 106 - 100
= 6
Miguel's 50% range = 105 - 86
= 19
Adam has the least spread
C. Miguel is inconsistent with the time set for training compared to that of Adam.
The answers to parts 2a and 2b show that there is a wide variation in the time that Miguel spend during training, but a minimum variation in the time spent by Adam during training.
Answer:
Option D. 9
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways to obtain the answer to the question.
Method 1:
Let 2x + 1 = 0
Making x the subject, we have
2x + 1 = 0
Collect like terms
2x = –1
Divide both side by 2
x = –1/2
Now, put the value of x into the expression 4x³ – 6x² – 8x + 7, we have:
4x³ – 6x² – 8x + 7
x = –1/2
4(–1/2)³ – 6(–1/2)² – 8(–1/2) + 7
4(–1/8) – 6(1/4) – 8(–1/2) + 7
–1/2 – 3/2 + 4 +7
– 4/2 + 4 + 7
– 2 + 4 + 7
= 9
Method 2:
Divide 4x³ – 6x² – 8x + 7 by 2x + 1
