Solve the following equation. 2x - 1 ≤ x 5

1 answer:

5 0

2x−1≤x5

Let's find the critical points of the inequality.

2x−1=x^5

2x−1−x^5=x^5−x^5 (Subtract x^5 from both sides)

−x^5+2x−1=0

(−x+1)(x^4+x^3+x^2+x−1)=0 (Factor left side of equation)

−x+1=0 or x^4+x^3+x^2+x−1=0 (Set factors equal to 0)

x=1 or x=0.51879 or x=−1.290649

Answer:

Mr. Roland’s class was more successful because his class’s lower quartile was the same as Mrs. Cai’s class’s upper quartile.

Step-by-step explanation:

From given scatter plot, we see that upper quartile of Mrs. Cai's class = 4

lower quartile of Mr. Roland’s class = 4

Both are equal so that means.

That means Mr. Roland’s class was more successful because his class’s lower quartile was the same as Mrs. Cai’s class’s upper quartile.

Hence last choice is correct.

Let x represent number of wrong questions answered by Aaron.

We have been given that Aaron is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 20 points available. Each question is worth exactly 1 point. We are asked to find Aaron's score (out of 20) if he got 6 questions wrong.

To find Aaron's score, we will subtract number of wrong answers from total score.

$\text{Aaron's score}=\text{Total score}-\text{Number of wrong answers}$
