Answer:

The lower quartile is 23.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data are;

47.2, 33.8, 43, 62, 5.8, 9, 61.4, 30.8, 68.2, 51.6, 13.2, 17.4, 64.2, 50.6, 29.4, 40.4

Rearranging the data, we have;

5.8, 9, 13.2, 17.4, 29.4, 30.8, 33.8, 40.4, 43, 47.2, 50.6, 51.6, 61.4, 62, 64.2, 68.2

The lower quartile, Q₁, is the (n + 1)/4 th term which is (16 +1)/4 = 4.25th term

However since we have an even set of numbers, we place a separator at the middle and we look for the median of the left half as follows

5.8, 9, 13.2, 17.4, 29.4, 30.8, 33.8, 40.4║ 43, 47.2, 50.6, 51.6, 61.4, 62, 64.2, 68.2

We have two numbers (17.4 + 29.4) at the median of the left set of numbers, we find the average of the two numbers to get the lower quartile

The lower quartile is therefore = (17.4 + 29.4)/2 = 23.4.

Consider functions f and g.1 + 12f(1) = 12 + 4. – 12for * # 2 and 7 -64.2 – 16. + 1641 +48for a # -12 Which expression is equal

lisabon 2012 [21]

Given the following functions below,

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{x+12}{x^2+4x-12}\text{ and} \\ g(x)=\frac{4x^2-16x+16}{4x+48} \end{gathered}$

Factorising the denominators of both functions,

Factorising the denominator of f(x),

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{x+12}{x^2+4x-12}=\frac{x+12}{x^2+6x-2x-12}=\frac{x+12}{x(x+6)-2(x+6)}=\frac{x+12}{(x-2)(x+6)} \\ f(x)=\frac{x+12}{(x-2)(x+6)} \end{gathered}$

Factorising the denominator of g(x),

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=\frac{4x^2-16x+16}{4x+48}=\frac{4(x^2-4x+4)}{4(x+12)} \\ \text{Cancel out 4 from both numerator and denominator} \\ g(x)=\frac{x^2-4x+4}{x+12}=\frac{x^2-2x-2x+4}{x+12}=\frac{x(x-2)-2(x-2)}{x+12}=\frac{(x-2)^2}{x+12} \\ g(x)=\frac{(x-2)^2}{x+12} \end{gathered}$

3х - 7y = 13 6х + y = 7 Elimination!! Pls help guys

balandron [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

(3х - 7y = 13)×-2

6х + y = 7

-6х +14y = -26

6х + y = 7

15y=-19

y=-19÷15=-1.26

6x+-1.26=7

6x=7+1.26

6x=8.26

x=1.37

Notice the picture below

recall the "inscribed angle theorem"

now... notice your picture, "x" is just the intercepted arc
