List P contains m numbers; list Q contains n numbers. If the two lists are combined to produce list R, containing m + n numbers,

is the median of list R greater than the median of list P? (1) The smallest number in list Q is greater than the largest number in list P. (2) m = n

Answer: YES

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write out the expressions

P= {m}

Q= {n}

R= {m+n}

If 2m=n then we can say;

P= {½n} Q= {n} & R= {³/²n}

It is obvious that the smaller number in Q is greater than the largest number in P

We can make some assumptions.

Let n= (x,y,z)

Consequently,

P={½x,½y,½z} Q={x,y,z} and R= {1.5x,1.5y,1.5z}

Therefore the median will be the middle element,

Median of P= ½y

Median of Q = y

Median of R = 1.5y

And 1.5y>1.5y

Then we can agree that the median of R is greater than the median of both P and Q

Saira is using the formula for the area of a circle to determine the value of LaTeX: \piπ. She is using the expression LaTeX: Ar

lord [1]

Given:

Area of a circle, A=50.265 sq. units.

Radius of circle, r = 4 units.

To find:

The value of π to the nearest thousandth.

Solution:

Formula for area of a circle is

$A=\pi r^2$

$\dfrac{A}{r^2}=\pi$

$Ar^{-2}=\pi$

Now, using $Ar^{-2}$ expression, we can find the value of π.

$\pi=50.265904(4)^{-2}$

$\pi=\dfrac{50.265904}{4^2}$

$\pi=\dfrac{50.265904}{16}$

$\pi=3.141619$

Approximate the value to the nearest thousandth (three digits after decimal).

$\pi\approx 3.142$

Therefore, the approximated value of π is 3.142.

Please help me out with this problem!

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The red graph is the graph of y = f(x) shifted 1 unit right and then reflected in the x- axis.

Given y = f(x) then f(x + a) is a horizontal translation of a units

• If a > 0 then shift to the left of a units

• If a < 0 then shift to the right of a units

Here shift to the right of 1 unit, thus

y = f(x - 1)

Under a reflection in the x- axis

a point (x, y ) → (x, - y )

Note the y- coordinates are the negative of each other, thus

- y = f(x)

Now $\frac{y}{-1}$ = - y, hence

The equation for the red graph is

$\frac{y}{-1}$ = f(x - 1) → C

Subtract 3/y-2 - 1/y+3

Helen [10]

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator.

$\frac{3}{y-2}$ - $\frac{1}{y+3}$

the common denominator will be (y-2)(y+3)

$\frac{3(y+3)-1(y-2)}{(y-2)(y+3)}$
$\frac{3y + 9 - y + 2}{(y-2)(y+3)}$
$\frac{2y + 11}{(y-2)(y+3)}$

The answer above will be the simplified form.
