a) Factor 9x² + y² + z² - 6xy + 2yz - 6xz
This looks a lot like
(x+y+z)² = x² + y² + z²+ 2xy + 2yz + 2xz
except instead of x there's (-3x). So this must be
(-3x+y+z)² = (-3x)² + y² + z² + 2((-3x)y + (-3x)z + yz)
= 9x² + y² + z² - 6xy + 2yz - 6xz
Looks good.
Answer: (-3x+y+z)²
Since it's a square we could also negate the inside and write this (3x-y-z)²
b) I'll guess that says we want to evaluate this when x=1, y=2, z= -1
(-3(1) + 2 -1)² = (-2)² = 4
Answer: 4
I suggest you using for those problems!
Solution: We have to find the Frequency and Relative frequency of the given data:
Frequency is the number of times a number occurs.
Relative Frequency is the number of times a number occurs divided by the total number of items.
Therefore, the frequency and relative frequency are calculated as below:
Number Frequency Relative Frequency
20 1 
21 4 
22 2 
23 4
24 3 
25 2 
26 3 
27 5 
28 3 
29 4 
Total 31
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
(3/4)/(1/2)=(3/4)(2/1)=6/4=3/2
