To find the mean just add all of them then divide the result by 8. To find the median put the numbers in order. So 3, 3, 4, 4, 13, 15, 15, 16 then find the middle number, if there is not middle number (which there isn’t) add the two middle numbers (4 and 13) to get 17 then divide 17 by 2 to get 8.5 which is the median

Pam has 90 m of fencing to enclose an area in a petting zoo with two dividers to separate three types of young animals. The thre

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The area function is

$A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2$ .

The domain and range of A is $(0,15m)$ and $(0, 253.125 m^2]$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of fencing is $90 m$ .

Let the length and width of each pen be $x$ and $y$ respectively as shown in the figure.

As there are 3 pens, so, the total area,

$A= 3 xy \;\cdots (i)$

From the figure the total length of fencing is $6x+4y$ .

Here, for a significant area for the animals, $x>0$ as well as $y>0$ as $x$ and $y$ are the sides of ben.

From the given value:

$6x+4y=90\;\cdots (ii)$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}$

Now, from equation (i)

$A=3x\left(\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}\right)$

$\Rightarrow A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2\;\cdots (iii)$

This is the required area function in the terms of variable $x$ .

For the domain of area function, from equation (ii)

$x=15-\frac{2y}{3}$

$\Rightarrow x$ [as y>0]

So, the domain of area function is $(0,15m)$ .

For the range of area function:

As $x \rightarrow 0$ or $y\rightarrow 0$ , then $A\rightarrow 0$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow A>0$

Now, differentiate the area function with respect to $x$ .

$\frac {dA}{dx}=\frac{135}{2}-9x$

Equate $\frac {dA}{dx}$ to zero to get the extremum point.

$\frac {dA}{dx}=0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{135}{2}-9x=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{2}$

Check this point by double differentiation

$\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}=-9$

As, $\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}$ , so, point $x=\frac{15}{2}$ is corresponding to maxima.

Put this value back to equation (iii) to get the maximum value of area function. We have

$A=\frac{135}{2}\times \frac {15}{2}-\frac{9}{2}\times \left(\frac {15}{2}\right)^2$

$\Rightarrow A=253.125 m^2$

Hence, the range of area function is $(0, 253.125 m^2]$ .

The mean of 15 numbers is y.If each of the number is increased by 30, find the increase of the new mean in terms of y.The answer

dusya [7]

Answer:

y+30

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the numbers is 15y

the new sum after increase each number by 30 is 15y+450

the new mean 15y+450/15

= y+30
