The two dot plots are missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
The mean at the beginning of the school year was 9.5 miles and the mean at the end of the school year was 10.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached image, we are told to compare the means for each plot to the nearest tenth.
Mean = Σx/n
Now, from the image, total number of miles run by the 14 students at the beginning of the school year is;
(1 × 7) + (2 × 8) + (4 × 9) + (4 × 10) + (2 × 11) + (1 × 12) = 133
Mean of miles run at the beginning of the school year = 133/14 = 9.5 miles
Again, from the table, total miles run at the end of the school year = (2 × 8) + (2 × 9) + (4 × 10) + (3 × 11) + (3 × 12) = 143
Mean of miles run at the end of the school year = 143/14 = 10.2 miles
Thus;
The mean at the beginning of the school year was 9.5 miles and the mean at the end of the school year was 10.2 miles
Answer:
10657.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>
Long way that is unnecessarily long</h2>
We can start by finding the area of the larger triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can say that 251²-105²=the bottom side², and 251²-105²=51976, so the bottom side of the larger triangle is √51976 , or approximately 228. Then, the area of the larger triangle is √51976 * 105/2 = 11969 (approximately). Then, the area of the smallest triangle (the largest triangle - the one that we're trying to find the area of) is 105*(√51976-203)/2 = approximately 1312. Then, subtracting that from the total area, we get (√51976 * 105 - 105*(√51976-203))/2 = 105*203/2 = 10657.5
<h2>Short way</h2>
ALTERNATIVELY, upon further review, we can just see that the height is 105 and the base is 203, so we multiply those two and divide by 2, as is the formula for the area of a triangle, to get 10657.5
-x⁴+ 6x³- 7x²- 4x - 4
Order from least to greatest exponent (the variable, which is x in this case, is always first by the way in terms of order, then integers). This point of this problem is essentially to just rearrange the original equation.
