The value of c is $\frac{361}{4}$

Explanation:

Given that the trinomial is $x^2-19x+c$

We need to determine the value of c such that the trinomial is a perfect square.

The value of c can be determined using the formula,

$c=(\frac{b}{2})^2$

From the trinomial, the value of b is given by

$b=-19$

Substituting the value of b in the above formula, we have,

$c=(\frac{-19}{2} )^2$

Squaring both the numerator and denominator, we have,

$c=\frac{361}{4}$

Thus, the value of c is $\frac{361}{4}$ which makes the trinomial a perfect square.

The following describes a sample. The information given includes the five number summary, the sample size, and the largest and s

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

$L= Q_1 - 1.5*IQR = 210 -1.5*40 =150$

$U= Q_3 + 1.5*IQR = 250 +1.5*40 =310$

And if we analyze the info provided we have 500 values

Tails: 160,165,167,171,175,...,268,269,269,269,270,270

So as we can see on the tails any values is <150 or >310 so then for this case we cannot consider as outliers any of the values on the tails of the distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the 5 number summary

(160,210,220,250,270)

So then we have:

minimum = 160 , Q1 = 210, Q2= Median=220, Q3 = 250, Max=270

If we find the interquartile range we got:

$IQR = Q_3 -Q_1 = 250-210 =40$

For this case we need to find the lower and upper limit with the following formulas:

$L= Q_1 - 1.5*IQR = 210 -1.5*40 =150$

$U= Q_3 + 1.5*IQR = 250 +1.5*40 =310$

And if we analyze the info provided we have 500 values

Tails: 160,165,167,171,175,...,268,269,269,269,270,270

So as we can see on the tails any values is <150 or >310 so then for this case we cannot consider as outliers any of the values on the tails of the distribution.

What is the solution of -8 / 2 y - 8 equals 5 / y + 4 - 7 y + 8 / Y 2 - 16

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The value of y is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\dfrac{-8}{2y-8}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16}$
