Second answer if it still helps
Answer:
STEP
1
:
Equation at the end of step 1
(5r2 - 14r) + 8
Step-2 : Find two factors of 40 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -14 .
-40 + -1 = -41
-20 + -2 = -22
-10 + -4 = -14 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and -4
5r2 - 10r - 4r - 8
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
5r • (r-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
4 • (r-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(5r-4) • (r-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(r - 2) • (5r -4)
<span>When you have an equation of the form y = mx + b (which you do in this case), the slope is always equal to the coefficient of x, which is m or 12 in this case. Since there is no "b" in your equation, you could say that b=0, and the line is known to cross the y axis at zero.
In case you are interested, if the equation said y = 12 x + 3 the slope of the line would still be 12 but the line would cross the y axis at 3. If the equation said y = 12x -4, the line would have a slope of 12 and would cross the y axis at -4.</span>
3, 4, 5, 6 and 7
Q 1= (3+4)/2=3.5
Q 2= (4+5)/2=4.5
Q 3=(5+6)/2=5.5
Interquartile range =Q3-Q1
=5.5-3.5
=2
