The sum of two rational numbers will always be rational. A rational number is a number that can be expressed in the form a/b with b ≠ 0. So, if we can prove that the sum of two rational numbers has a denominator, we have proven this statement. Since any rational number can be written as a/b, we can write sum of two rational numbers as a/b + c/d. We can make this ad+bc/bd. Since we proved that the sum of two rational numbers has a denominator, we also prove that their sum is rational.

Quadratic equations: Factoring

stellarik [79]

Remember
if ab=0, then assume that a and b equal 0

factor out common term
comon term in 6x^2 and 15x is 3x
3x(2x)+3x(5)=0
3x(2x+5)=0
set each to zero
3x=0
x=0

2x+5=0
2x=-5
x=-5/2

x=-5/2 and 0

The number of patients treated at Dr. Artin’s dentist office each day was recorded for nine days. These are the data: 6, 6, 6, 5

klemol [59]

Answer:

D) 5.6, 6, 6, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we start solving this problem, we need to first rearrange the provided data from smallest to greatest, so we get:

5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6

now we can find the mean. The mean is nothing but the average of the provided values, so we need to add them and then divide them into the total amount of data:

$mean=\frac{5+5+5+5+6+6+6+6+6}{9}=5.6$

next, in an odd number of data, the median is the middle number when written in order. In this case the middle number (the one in the position 5) is 6, so:

median=6

the mode will tell you what is the value that has the greatest number of occurrencies. This is the number that appears the most on our list.

Mode=6

and the range is the difference between the greatest value and the smallest value:

Range=6-5=1

so the answer is D.
