So what I would do is first multiply the mean by 4 and that is the total u need, 146.5, to have a mean of 36 and 5/8. Next I add the lengths given, which is 110.625, and then I would subtract it from 146.5 which is 35.875 which is 35 and 7/8. You can also check the answer by finding the mean of the 4 numbers and determining if it comes out to 36 and 5/8. The answer is C. Hope this helps!
Answer:
x ∈ {−0.766664695962, 2, 4}
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is a combination of polynomial and exponential functions. There are no algebraic methods for solving such an equation. Graphical and iterative methods work nicely, though.
The attached graph shows integer solutions at x=2 and x=4. There is also an irrational negative solution near x = −0.766664695962. The latter was found by using Newton's method iteration on the graphical value of -0.767.
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this will help you.
