Problem 1.

My thinking is that the furthest you can get is have two points at each opposite corner, so the distance between them is sqrt(2). If we have two other points with this property, then all four corners are filled up. It is possible to pick two points where the distance is 1 unit.

Then a fifth point can be placed at the center such that the distance from it to any of the corners is sqrt(2)/2. We placed the fifth point at the center to try to get as far away as possible from the other four points.

Basically we're trying to find the worst case scenario (leading to the largest distance possible) and seeing how we can fill up the square. This establishes the upper bound. Any other kind of scenario will have a distance less than the upper bound.

Problem 2.

For this one, I'm not sure what to make of it. The terminology is a bit strange so I'm not going to be fairly helpful here. Sorry about that.

If I had to guess, I'd assume it has something to do with the fact that a plane is uniquely defined by 3 points. That fourth point is not coplanar with the other three, which helps define the semi-spherical portion. The fifth point is just extra. The points can't be all collinear or else a plane won't form. Though to be honest, I'm still not sure about problem 2. I'd get a second opinion.

Answer:

$\frac{x-3}{2x-3}$ . hole or removable discontinuity at x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well generally if you want the simplest form, you factor each the denominator and numerator and then see if you can cancel any of the factors out (because they're in the denominator and numerator)

So let's start by factoring the first equation:

$x^2-5x+6$

Now let's find what ac is (it's just c since a=1...)

$AC= 6$

List factors of -6

$\pm1, \pm2, \pm3, \pm6$ .

Now we have to look for two numbers that add up to -5. It's a bit obvious here since there isn't many factors, but it's -2 and -3, and they're both negative since 6 is positive, and -5 is negative...

So using these two factors we get

$(x-2)(x-3)$

Ok now let's factor the second equation:

$2x^2-7x+6$

Multiply a and c

$AC = 12$

List factors of 12:

$\pm1, \pm2, \pm3, \pm4, \pm6, \pm12$ .

Factors that add up to -7 and multiply to 12:

$-3\ and\ -4$

Rewrite equation:

$2x^2-4x-3x+6$

Group terms:

$(2x^2-4x)+(-3x+6)$

Factor out GCF:

$2x(x-2)-3(x-2)$

Rewrite:

$(2x-3)(x-2)$

Now let's write out the equation using these factors:

$\frac{(x-2)(x-3)}{(2x-3)(x-2)}$ .

Here we can factor out the x-2 and the simplified form is:

$\frac{x-3}{2x-3}$

So we can "technically" define f(2) using the most simplified form, but it's removable discontinuity, so it has a hole as x=2. since it makes (x-2) equal to 0 (2-2) = 0.

Theo is a cleaner,

GaryK [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour 50 minutes = 110 mins

1 1/2 hours = 90 mins

add all these:

110

when you add all these you get 375

every hour has 60 minutes

375 ÷ 60 = 6.15

if he starts at 9 am and he cleans for 6.15 hours he will be finished by 3:15pm.

Members of a softball team raised $1513.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $961.50 and budgeted $46 per player for

aniked [119]

Answer: 1513.50=961.50+46x

The number of players the team can bring to the tournament = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

Total money raised = Rent of bus + (Cost per player) (Number of players)

$1513.50=961.50+46x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 46x=1513.50-961.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ 46x = 552\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{552}{46}\\\\\Rightarrow x=12$

Hence, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament = 12.

If the mean of the following distribution is 91 and sum of frequencies is 150 find x and y

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = ∑x/ N

91 = ∑x / 150

∑x = 150 * 91 = 13650

x= 6825 and y = 6825
