Answer:
The first one
Step-by-step explanation:
d) You have a <u>difference of squares</u>:
49y² - 9 = (7y)² - 3²
Recall the identity,
a² - b² = (a - b) (a + b)
So,
49y² - 9 = (7y - 3) (7y + 3)
e) Pull out the common factor 3 from each term:
3x² - 3x - 90 = 3 (x² - x - 30)
Now use the <u>sum-product method</u>. Notice that we can write 30 = 5 • 6, and 5 - 6 = 1, so
3x² - 3x - 90 = 3 (x + 5) (x - 6)
f) Same as in (e), use the <u>sum-product method</u>. Notice that 42 = 7 • 6, and -7 - 6 = -13, so
x² - 13x + 42 = (x - 7) (x - 6)
An equation is an equation because that is how it works for the numbers to be in order
First we find list the data in order
Then we find the median
We split the data in half and find the median of the first half which is C
1/3 (3y - 6) = 8
distribute: y - 2 = 8
add 2 to both sides: y = 10
10
