<h3>Answer: Choice B)  0.5</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

For now, focus solely on the orange boxplot. The first quartile Q1 is the left edge of the box, which is at 3.5; while the value of Q3 is 7.5 (right edge of the box). The interquarile range (IQR) is ...

IQR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = 7.5 - 3.5

IQR = 4

This is basically the width of the box. Ignore the whiskers when it comes to the IQR.

Let A = 4 as we'll use it later.

---------------------------------

Find the IQR for the blue box plot

Q1 = 6 = left edge of the blue box

Q3 = 9.5 = right edge of the blue box

IQR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = 9.5 - 6

IQR = 3.5

Let B = 3.5 as we'll use it later

---------------------------------

Subtract the values of A and B to find the difference of the IQR values

A - B = 4 - 3.5 = 0.5

The equation 6x2 - 132 +5 -0 has solutions of the form
MArishka [77]

Answer:

(A)

N = -b = -(-13) = 13\\\\

D =b^2 -4ac = (-13)^2 - 4(6)(5) = 169- 120 = 49

M = 2a = 2(6) = 12

(B)

$ x = (\frac{5}{3} , \: \frac{1}{2}) $

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

6x^2 - 13x + 5 = 0

The solution is of the form as given by

$x=\frac{N\pm\sqrt{D}}{M}$

(A) Use the quadratic formula to solve this equation and find the appropriate integer values of N, M and D. Do not worry about simplifying the VD yet in this part of the problem.

The quadratic formula is given by

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

The equations of N, M and D are

N = -b

D =b^2 -4ac

M = 2a

The values of a, b and c are

a = 6 \\\\b = -13 \\\\c = 5

So,

N = -b = -(-13) = 13\\\\

D =b^2 -4ac = (-13)^2 - 4(6)(5) = 169- 120 = 49

M = 2a = 2(6) = 12

(B) Now simplify the radical and the resulting solutions. Enter your answers as a list of integers or reduced fractions, separated with commas. Example: -5/2-3/4

N = 13

D = 49

M = 12

$x=\frac{13\pm\sqrt{49}}{12}$

$x=\frac{13\pm7}{12}$

$ x=\frac{13+7}{12} $  and $ x=\frac{13-7}{12} $

$ x=\frac{20}{12} $  and $ x=\frac{6}{12} $

$ x=\frac{5}{3} $  and $ x=\frac{1}{2} $

$ x = (\frac{5}{3} , \: \frac{1}{2}) $

What is the remainder when the polynomial f(x)=3x^3-4x^2+2x+8 is divided by (x-5)
yaroslaw [1]

The remainder when the polynomial f(x) = 3x³ - 4x² + 2x + 8 is divided by (x - 5) is constant an equal f(5).

Substitute x = 5 to the polynomial:

f(5)=3(5^3)-4(5^2)+2(5)+8=3(125)-4(25)+10+8\\\\=375-100+18=275+18=293

Answer: (3x³ - 4x² + 2x + 8) : (x - 5) = q(x) + 293.
