Answer:

|SQ|=5

Step-by-step explanation:

If S is the median, then OP is a median of triangle OMN.

This implies that:

|MP|=|NP|

$3x-4=x+4$

We group like terms and solve for x.

$3x-x=4+4$

$\implies 2x=8$

$\implies x=4$

Now we know that: MN:SQ=2:1

But MN=2x+2

This implies that:

2x+2:SQ=2:1

Put x=4

2(4)+2:SQ=2:1

10:SQ=2:1

Therefore |SQ|=5

The data show the average monthly temperatures for two cities over a 6-month period. City 1: {20, 24, 40, 63, 76, 89} City 2: {4

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The MAD of city 2 is less than the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary less than the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

For comparing the mean absolute deviations of both data sets we have to calculate the mean absolute deviation for both data sets first,

So for city 1:

$Mean = x1 = \frac{20+24+40+63+76+89}{6}$

$x1 = \frac{312}{6}$

$x1 = 52$

Now to calculate the mean deviations mean will be subtracted from each data value. (Note: The minus sign is ignored as the deviation is the distance of value from the mean and it cannot be negative. For this purpose absolute is used)

$20-52 = -32=32\\24-52=-28=28\\40-52=-12=12\\63-52=11\\76-52=24\\89-52=37$

The deviations will be added then. $Mean Absolute Deviation = \frac{32+28+12+11+24+37}{6} \\=\frac{144}{6}\\=24$

So the mean absolute deviation for city 1 is 24 ..

For city 2:

$Mean = x2 = \frac{41+50+58+62+72+83}{6}$

$x2 = \frac{366}{6}$

$x2 = 61$

Now to calculate the mean deviations mean will be subtracted from each data value. (Note: The minus sign is ignored)

$41-61=-20=20\\50-61=-11=11\\58-61=-3=3\\62-61=1\\72-61=11\\83-61=22$

The deviations will be added then. $Mean Absolute Deviation = \frac{20+11+3+1+11+22}{6} \\=\frac{68}{6}\\=11.33$

So the MAD for city 2 is 11.33 ..

So,

The MAD of city 2 is less than the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary less than the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

5/8 ≠ (3/4 + 1/16) because 5/8 < 3/4 EXPLAIN THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT IT MEANS

balu736 [363]

5/8 = 3/4+1/16 is false because, the final values compared on each side of equation is not the same

- 5/8 = 0.625
- 3/4+1/16 = 0.8125

0.625 = 0.8125, it is not equal but less than

Solve the quadratic equation below x2-64=0

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

x=32

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you add 64 to both sides and you have: x2=64

second, you divide 2 on both sides to get x by itself, so 64 divided by 2 is 32
