F(x) = x/4
so
f(-8) = -8/4 = -2
answer
f(-8) = -2
Maria = x
Tom = y
Use substitution
x+y=30
2y=x
2y+y=30
3y=30
y=10
Tom is 10 years old.
x+y=30
x+10=30
x=20
Maria is 20 years old.
The answer is A = 2 tenths
C = .2
A and C
Moving from a to b, the x component of the desired vector is 7-(-9) = 16, and
the y component is 3-9 = -6.
So the vector from a to b is <16,-6>, and the magnitude is
sqrt(16^2 + (-6)^2 ), applying the Pythagorean Theorem.
What you would do is start crossing the highest and lowest values off on both sides of the chart until you had one or two remaining.
Once that is done, you'll be able to determine the median.
The median in this case is 2.
Hope this helps!
