The median...(hope it helps)

You would need to give us the data set to answer this question. I'm assuming this is a stats question which means I'd need to see what set of data you are working with to determine if the mean or median is best to describe the center. The meadian is resistant to outlying values while the mean is not. Therefore the meadian is a better describer for skewed distributions. Whenever you have outliers the dataset is skewed. Take a look at the shape of the data. Does it look skewed? You can make a simple graph with the data points to determine if there are outliars if you aren't able to tell just from looking at the data. (Again I don't know what data you are working with, but I hope this helped)

Three forces of 300 N in the direction of N30E, 400N in the direction of N60E and

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Split up each force into horizontal and vertical components.

• 300 N at N30°E :

(300 N) (cos(30°) i + sin(30°) j)

• 400 N at N60°E :

(400 N) (cos(60°) i + sin(60°) j)

• 500 N at N80°E :

(500 N) (cos(80°) i + sin(80°) j)

The resultant force is the sum of these forces,

∑ F = (300 cos(30°) + 400 cos(60°) + 500 cos(80°)) i

… … … + (300 sin(30°) + 400 sin(60°) + 500 sin(80°)) j N

∑ F ≈ (546.632 i + 988.814 j) N

so ∑ F has a magnitude of approximately 1129.85 N and points in the direction of approximately N61.0655°E.

A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular field that encloses 3600 square feet. One side of the field is along a river and does n

andriy [413]

Answer:

C(x) = $\$3.50(\frac{x^2+7200}{x})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Area of the field = 3600 square feet

Fencing charges = $3.50 per foot

Let the side along the river be 'x' feet and the other side of the 'B'

now,

Area of rectangle = Bx = 3600 square feet

B = $\frac{3600}{x}$ feet

and total length to be fenced = x + 2B

therefore,

Total cost of fencing = Fencing charges × total length to be fenced

Total cost of fencing = $3.50 × ( x + 2B )

substituting the value of B from (1)

Total cost of fencing, C(x) = $\$3.50(x+2\times\frac{3600}{x})$

C(x) = $\$3.50(\frac{x^2+7200}{x})$

Simplify (2+3)squared-16 divided by 2

seraphim [82]

Answer:

it would be 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

basic explantion

step 1. 3+2 =5

step 2 5x5=25

step 3 25-16=9

step 4 9 divde by 2= 4.5

simplifyed it would be 25-16 ÷ 2

more deatialed explanation.

I added 3+2 to get 5 and i sqaured the 5 to get 25 becasue 5x5 is 25 then i took away 16 and got 9 then i divde 9 by 2 to get 4.5. hope this helped!

Question 16

Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 175

Step-by-step explanation: total = x + 5y dollars and dollars = 300 so

x + 5y = 300 then since we know y = 200 we can substitute that

x + 5(200) = 300 then subtract x from 200

x + 5(200 - x) = 300 now solve for x

x + 5(200) + 5(-x) = 300 we know 5 times 200 is 1000

x + 1000 - 5x = 300 then subtract 5x - x = -4x

-4x + 1000 = 300 switch around 1000 and 300

-4x = 300 - 1000 subtract 300 - 1000 = -700

-4x = -700 multiply

x = -700/(-4) then finish up and solve

x = 175
