Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set.

So, in order to find the range, you first order the data from least to greatest. Which it is already.

3, 7, 11, 14, 16

Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.

16 - 3 = 13

Hope this helps you out! : )

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are H(6, 4) and K(2, 8).

Serhud [2]

The midpoint formula is ( x + x / 2, y + y / 2)
so....
6+ 2 = 8 / 2 = 4
4 + 8 = 12 / 2 = 6
the midpoint is (4, 6)

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point

Sati [7]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-1\to x+4y=-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ k:y=m_1x+b_1;\ l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ ||\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\==========================\\\\\text{We have}\ x+4y=-6.\\\text{Convert to the slope-intercept form:}\\\\x+4y=-6\qquad\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\4y=-x-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\y=\dfrac{-x}{4}-\dfrac{6}{4}\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-\dfrac{3}{2}\to m_1=-\dfrac{1}{4}$

$\text{Lines are to be parallel. Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{4}.\\\\\text{We initially have the form equation}\ y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through the point}\ (9,\ -3).\\\\\text{Substitute the coordinates of the point to the equation of a line:}\\\\x=9,\ y=-3\\\\-3=-\dfrac{1}{4}(9)+b\\\\-3=-\dfrac{9}{4}+b\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{9}{4}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\-\dfrac{12}{4}+\dfrac{9}{4}=b\to b=-\dfrac{3}{4}$

$x=8,\ y=-3\\\\-3=-\dfrac{1}{4}(8)+b\\\\-3=-2+b\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\-1=b\to b=-1$

$\text{Therefore the equation is:}\ y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-1.\\\\\text{Convert to the standard form}\ Ax+By=C:\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-1\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\4y=-x-4\qquad\text{add}\ x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x+4y=-4$

the base of the founten is rectangular . its dimention 1 2/3 feet by 2 2/3 feet . what is the area of the base of the founten

Montano1993 [528]

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle. In this case, the length (the longer side) is 2 2/3 feet while the width (shorter side) is 1 2/3 feet. To multiply fraction, first convert mixed numbers into improper fractions:

2 2/3 = 8/3
1 2/3 = 5/3
Multiplying the two fractions yield:
8/3 x 5/3 = 40/9 ft2

The final answer is 40/9 ft2 or 4 4/9 ft2.
