Answer:

x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:

-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1

Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:

x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>

The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.

True expression -50x+ 100 represents the balance, in dollars, of a bank account after x months. What is the range of change, in

JulijaS [17]

Let

x--------> the number of months

y-------> represents the balance, in dollars, of a bank account

we know that

y=-50x+100

the rate of change is equal to the slope of the line

$m=-50\frac{\$}{month}$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the rate of change is $-50\frac{\$}{month}$

Nancy is making lemonade for her birthday party. She made 6 batches. Each batch of lemonade uses 24 fluid ounces of lemon juice

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Us pint = 16 Us fluid ounces

It means that 8 pints of water would be

8 × 16 = 128 fluid ounces

Each batch of lemonade uses 24 fluid ounces of lemon juice and 8 pints of water. The total number of fluid ounces in each batch is

128 + 24 = 152 fluid ounces

Also,

1 fluid ounce = 0.125 Us cups

Therefore, the number of cups made is

152 × 0.125 = 19 cups

If each serving is 1 cup, then the number of servings that she made from each batch of lemonade is 19

servings. The number of batches made is 6. Therefore, the number of servings made altogether is

6 × 19 = 114

If her brother came and spilled half of it on the floor, then the number of servings that she have left after that for her party is

114/2 = 57 servings

Answer:

The interquartile range of the data set is 5

The mean absolute deviation of the data set is 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the interquartile range and the mean absolute

deviation (MAD)

- The steps to find the interquartile range is:

1- Arrange the values from the smallest to the largest

∴ The values are 5 , 6 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 18 , 20

2- Find the median

- The median is the middle value after arrange them

* If there are two values in the middle take their average

∵ The values are 10 then the 5th and the 6th are the values

∵ The 5th is 12 and the 6th is 13

∴ The median = $\frac{12+13}{2}=12.5$

∴ The median is 12.5

3- Calculate the median of the lower quartile

- The lower quartile is the median of the first half data values

∵ There are 10 values

∴ The first half is the first five values

∴ The first half values are 5 , 6 , 10 , 11 , 12

∵ The middle value is 10

∴ The median of lower quartile = 10

- Similar find the median of the upper quartile

- The upper quartile is the median of the second half data values

∵ There are 10 numbers

∴ The second half is the last five values

∴ The second half values are 13 , 14 , 15 , 18 , 20

∵ The middle value is 15

∴ The median of upper quartile = 15

4- The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between the upper

and the lower medians

∴ The interquartile range = 15 - 10 = 5

* The interquartile range of the data set is 5

* Lets talk about the mean absolute deviation

- Mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a data set is the average distance

between each data value and the mean

- To find the mean absolute deviation of the data, start by finding

the mean of the data set.

1- Find the sum of the data values, and divide the sum by the

number of data values.

∵ The data set is 5 , 6 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 18 , 20

∵ Its sum = 5 + 6 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 18 + 20 = 124

∵ The mean = the sum of the data values/the number of the data

∵ The set has 10 numbers

∴ The mean = 124/10 = 12.4

2- Find the absolute value of the difference between each data value

and the mean ⇒ |data value – mean|

# I5 - 12.4I = 7.4

# I6 - 12.4I = 6.4

# I10 - 12.4I = 2.4

# I11 - 12.4I = 1.4

# I12 - 12.4I = 0.4

# I13 - 12.4I = 0.6

# I14 - 12.4I = 1.6

# I15 - 12.4I = 2.6

# I18 - 12.4I = 5.6

# I20 - 12.4I = 7.6

3- Find the sum of the absolute values of the differences.

∵ Their sum = 7.4 + 6.4 + 2.4 + 1.4 + 0.4 + 0.6 + 1.6 + 2.6 + 5.6 + 7.6

∴ Their sum = 36

4- Divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the

number of data values to find MAD

∴ MAD = The sum of the absolute values/number of the values

∵ The sum = 36

∵ The data set has 10 values

∴ MAD = 36/10 = 3.6

* The mean absolute deviation of the data set is 3.6
