The intersection of the two equations is (1, 1/5). Since the question is asking for the value of x, x = 1.
Split the second term in 3a^2 - 8a + 4 into two terms
3a^2 - 2a - 6a + 4 = 0
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
a(3a - 2) -2(3a - 2) = 0
Factor out the common term 3a - 2
(3a - 2)(a - 2) = 0
Solve for a;
a = 2/3,2
<u>Answer : B. (2/3,2)</u>
If you're using a few larger intervals, then your histogram looks more stocky. If you imagine drawing one, it's because you're adding more values into the same category which can make the difference between two intervals much more noticeable. If you're using smaller intervals, however, you can much more accurately assess the difference between two different intervals. For that reason, the transition between one and another interval would look much more 'fluid'.
