The two at the top technically means how many times the number in the bracket times ITSELF by, so its technically -3 x -3 which is +9 , cause a negative x negative = positive
Recall that an equation in slope-intercept form is as follows:
where m is the slope of the line, and (0,b) is the y-intercept.
Substituting m=-6, and b=-1/2 we get:
Simplifying the above result we get:
Answer:
Answer: The median is 5.
Step-by-step explanation: If you add all the numbers up, you get 40. There are 8 numbers, so 40 divided by 8 is 5.
To effectively determine the correct answer, it would be helpful to write this into an algebraic expression. We let x as the number. We do as follows:
<span>Four times the square of a certain number increased by 6 times the number equals 108.
4x^2 + 6x = 108
The numbers can be either of the following since the equation generated was a quadratic equation which has two roots.
x = 4.5
x = -6 </span>
