Answer:

The age of the person who entered the room is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Ages of 5 people in a room are:

17, 16, 15, 17, 22

A person enters room, and then the mean age of 6 people is 17.

We need to find the age of person who entered the room.

The formula to calculate mean is: $Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}$

Now, in question we are given mean of 6 people that is 17

The age of 5 people are given while age of one person who enters the room is unknown.

Let age of person whose age is unknown= x

Now finding x using mean formula

$Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}\\17=\frac{17+16+ 15+ 17+ 22+x}{6}\\17=\frac{87+x}{6}\\17*6=87+x\\102=87+x\\x=102-87\\x=15$

So, The value of x: x=15

Hence, the age of the person who entered the room is 15

Is w^2-9w+81 a trinomial square

Yuri [45]

No because it would be
if you knew that
ax^2+bx+c was a trinomial square, then the factored form would be
$( \sqrt{a}x+ \sqrt{c})^{2}$ or $( \sqrt{a}x- \sqrt{c})^{2}$
so
if w^2-9w+81 is perfect square, factored form is either
$( \sqrt{1}x+ \sqrt{81})^{2}$ or $( \sqrt{1}x- \sqrt{81})^{2}$ aka $( x+9)^{2}$ or $( x-9)^{2}$
expand them
(x+9)^2=x^2+18x+81, wron middle term

(x-9)^2=x^2-18x+81 wrong

so it is not

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (-4,2) and y-intercept (0,-30). Write your answer in this form: (x1, y1),(x2,

Ainat [17]

Vertex form of a parabola
y = a (x - h)^2 + k 

where (h, k) is the vertex 
Substituting the values of h and k.
we get,

y = a(x + 4)^2 + 2 

substituting in the point (0, -30) for x and y
-30 = a (0 + 4)^2 + 2

solve for a,

-30 = 16 a + 2 
-32 = 16 a 
-2 = a 

y = -2(x + 4)^2 + 2 

Put y = 0 

-2 x^2 - 16 x - 30 = 0 
-2(x^2 + 8 x + 15) = 0 
x^2 + 8 x + 15 = 0 
(x + 3)(x + 5) = 0 

x = -3
x = -5
