My name is Ann [436]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 students between 120 and 124 so take the median of 122

Multiply the number of students by the median

7 * 122 =854

There are 8 students between 124 and 128 so take the median of 126

Multiply the number of students by the median

8 * 126 =1008

There are 13 students between 128 and 132 so take the median of 130

Multiply the number of students by the median

13 * 130 =1690

There are 9 students between 132 and 136 so take the median of 134

Multiply the number of students by the median

9 * 134=1206

There are 3 students between 136 and 140 so take the median of 138

Multiply the number of students by the median

3 * 138 =414

To find the mean, take the total weight and divide by the number of students

(854+1008+1690+1206+414) = 5172 lbs

7+8+13+9+3 = 40 students

5172/40 =129.3 lbs for the average

This is an estimate because we do not know that the number of students in each category will weight the median on average. We use the mean as an estimate of their weight. The median is the middle number of the category.

The coordinates of the endpoints of directed line sergeant ABC are A(-8,7) and C(7,-13). If AB:BC = 3:2 then the coordinates of

cestrela7 [59]

The correct answer is A) (1,-5)

Further explanation:

Given points are:

A(-8,7)=(x1,y1)

C(7,13)=(x2,y2)

IT is also given that

AB:BC=3:2

Which means that B divides the line segment in 3:2

Here,

m=3

n=2

To find the coordinates of B

$x_B=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}\\ = \frac{(3)(7)+(2)(-8)}{3+2}\\=\frac{21-16}{5}\\=\frac{5}{5}\\=1\\y_B=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\\=\frac{(3)(-13)+(2)(7)}{3+2}\\=\frac{-39+14}{5}\\=\frac{-25}{5}\\=-5$

The coordinates of point B are (1,-5)

The correct answer is A) (1,-5)

Find the number of real zeros of

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the determinant to determine the type of zeros

Given

f(x) = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 ) ← in standard form, then the discriminant is

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then 2 real and distinct zeros

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then 2 real and equal zeros

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then 2 complex zeros

Given

f(x) = (x - 1)² + 1 ← expand factor and simplify

= x² - 2x + 1 + 1

= x² - 2x + 2 ← in standard form

with a = 1, b = - 2, c = 2, then

b² - 4ac = (- 2)² - (4 × 1 × 2) = 4 - 8 = - 4

Since b² - 4ac < 0 then the zeros are complex

Thus P(x) has no real zeros
