I think they all went to the movies equally per month if you simply compare medians? Since in the second chart, they each have a median of 2 times per month, that makes it equal. If you aren’t sure if this is correct, you have to order how many times each person went to the movies, from least to greatest. For example, John’s would be 1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,5. Then you would start crossing numbers off from each end. First you would cross off 1, then 5, and then 1, and then 4, and keep going until you reach the number in the very middle, which is 2. Do this with all of the other people, and check if everybody has 2 for a median. I believe they do, however it’s always best to check and be safe. Good luck
4b + 22 = 5 (b + 4) - 1 (remove the parantheses)
4b + 22 = 5b + 20 - 1 (calculate)
4b + 22 = 5b + 19 (move the terms)
4b - 5b = 19 - 22 (collect like terms and calculate)
-b = -3 (change the signs)
<em>b = 3</em>
Can I see the actual problem
First we find the factors
a^3-8 is the differnce between 2 perfect cubes and is factored out to
(a-2)(a^2+2a+4)
the factors are (a-2) and (a^2+2a+4)
a^4+16
this is not factorable, unless you mistiped it and it was really a^4-16
the factor is 1
a^3+2a^2+4a
factor out the a
a(a^2+2a+4)
this is the most factored out form
the factors are (a) and (a^2+2a+4)
there are no common factors except 1 so 1 is the answer
