She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym

Step-by-step explanation:

Jan spends part of her year as a member of a gym.

She then finds a better deal at another gym so she cancels her membership with the first gym after x months
She spends the rest of the year, y months, with the second gym
The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month, while the membership for the second gym costs $45 per month
She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course of the year

We need to find how much time she spent at each gym

∵ She spent x months in the 1st gym

∵ She spent y months in the 2nd gym

∵ Her course is a year

- There are 12 months in a year

∴ x + y = 12 ⇒ (1)

∵ The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month

∵ The membership to the second gym costs $45 per month

∵ She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course

∴ 75x + 45y = 780 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -45 to eliminate y

∵ -45x - 45y = -540 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ 30x = 240

- Divide both sides by 30

∴ x = 8

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 8 + y = 12

- Subtract 8 from both sides

∴ y = 4

She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym

Answer:

A's

Step-by-step explanation:

Mode is defined as the number, or in this case grade, that appears most often in a set of numbers. Seeing as 10 is the most number of a certain grade recieved, the corresponding grade A is the mode.

Consider the following function. f(x) = 16 − x2/3 Find f(−64) and f(64). f(−64) = f(64) = Find all values c in (−64, 64) such th

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

This does not contradict Rolle's Theorem, since f '(0) = 0, and 0 is in the interval (−64, 64).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=16-\frac{x^2}{3}$

To find $f(-64)$ , we substitute $x=-64$ into the function.

$f(-64)=16-\frac{(-64)^2}{3}$

$f(-64)=16-\frac{4096}{3}$

$f(-64)=-\frac{4048}{3}$

To find $f(64)$ , we substitute $x=64$ into the function.

$f(64)=16-\frac{(64)^2}{3}$

$f(64)=16-\frac{4096}{3}$

$f(64)=-\frac{4048}{3}$

To find $f'(c)$ , we must first find $f'(x)$ .

$f'(x)=-\frac{2x}{3}$

This implies that;

$f'(c)=-\frac{2c}{3}$

$f'(c)=0$

$\Rightarrow -\frac{2c}{3}=0$

$\Rightarrow -\frac{2c}{3}\times -\frac{3}{2}=0\times -\frac{3}{2}$

$c=0$

For this function to satisfy the Rolle's Theorem;

It must be continuous on $[-64,64]$ .

It must be differentiable on $(-64,64)$ .

and

$f(-64)=f(64)$ .

All the hypotheses are met, hence this does not contradict Rolle's Theorem, since f '(0) = 0, and 0 is in the interval (−64, 64) is the correct choice.

The measure of centre includes mean median and mode and the measure of variability includes range, interquartile range and mean absolute deviation.

<h3>what is measure centre and measure of variation? </h3>

A measure of central tendency (measure of centre) is a value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position of the data set.

The measure of central tendency includes the mean, median and mode.

The measure of variation describes the amount of variability or spread in a set of data.

The common measures of variability are the range, the interquartile range (IQR), variance, and standard deviation.

Therefore, the measure of centre includes mean median and mode and the measure of variability includes range, interquartile range and mean absolute deviation.
