Answer:

- 11 or - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorise

x² - 13x + 42

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 42) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 13)

The factors are - 6 and - 7, since

- 6 × - 7 = + 42 and - 6 - 7 = - 13, thus

x² - 13x + 42 = (x - 6)(x - 7)

compare to (x + A)(x + B)

A = - 6, B = - 7

thus 3A - B = 3(- 6) - (- 7) = - 18 + 7 = - 11

The factors may also be expressed as (x - 7)(x - 6)

with A = - 7 and B = - 6, then

3A - B = 3(- 7) - (- 6) = - 21 + 6 = - 15

Please help ASAP for question b
zlopas [31]

Answer: The height of the new player is 210 cm

Step-by-step explanation: The previous mean of the entire team has been calculated as 200.3

What this means is that, we have a summation of the observed data and a summation of the frequency of data.

The mean was calculated as

Sum FX/Sum F = 200.3

Where Sum FX is 2604 and Sum F is 13

However, our calculation should now read thus,

Sum FX/Sum F = 201 {where 201 is the new mean}

By cross multiplication we now have

Sum FX = Sum F x 201

Remember that a new member has joined the team so our Sum F is now 14 and we can now express it as thus

Sum FX = 14 x 201

Sum FX = 2814

If the summation of the observed data after adding a new team member is now 2814, then the addition to the previous observed data would be

2814 - 2604 = 210

So the height of the new member added to the team is 210 cm.
