Answer:

median = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange the data in ascending order :

3 , 4 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 15

Choose the middle number.

Here there are even number of data. Take the average of the middle

numbers .

4 and 6 are the middle number. average of 4 and 6 = ( 4 + 6 ) /2 = 5

Therefore , median = 5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle when the numbers are lined up from smallest to largest

3,4,4,6,7,15

There are 6 number so the middle is the between the 3rd and 4th number

3,4,4, 6,7,15

Take the 3rd and 4th numbers and average

(4+6)/2 = 10/2 = 5

A rectangular box is to have a square base and a volume of 12 ft3. If the material for the base costs $0.17/ft2, the material fo

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

(a)Length =2 feet

(b)Width =2 feet

(c)Height=3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimensions of the box be x, y and z

The rectangular box has a square base.

Therefore, Volume of the box $V=x^2z$

Volume of the box $=12 ft^3\\$

$Therefore, x^2z=12\\z=\frac{12}{x^2}$

The material for the base costs $\$0.17/ft^2$ , the material for the sides costs $\$0.10/ft^2$ , and the material for the top costs $\$0.13/ft^2$ .

Area of the base $=x^2$

Cost of the Base $=\$0.17x^2$

Area of the sides $=4xz$

Cost of the sides= $=\$0.10(4xz)$

Area of the Top $=x^2$

Cost of the Base $=\$0.13x^2$

Total Cost, $C(x,z) =0.17x^2+0.13x^2+0.10(4xz)$

Substituting $z=\frac{12}{x^2}$

$C(x) =0.17x^2+0.13x^2+0.10(4x)(\frac{12}{x^2})\\C(x)=0.3x^2+\frac{4.8}{x} \\C(x)=\dfrac{0.3x^3+4.8}{x}$

To minimize C(x), we solve for the derivative and obtain its critical point

$C'(x)=\dfrac{0.6x^3-4.8}{x^2}\\Setting \:C'(x)=0\\0.6x^3-4.8=0\\0.6x^3=4.8\\x^3=4.8\div 0.6\\x^3=8\\x=\sqrt[3]{8}=2$

Recall: $z=\frac{12}{x^2}=\frac{12}{2^2}=3\\$

Therefore, the dimensions that minimizes the cost of the box are:

(a)Length =2 feet

(b)Width =2 feet

(c)Height=3 feet

Y = –3x 6 y = 9 what is the solution to the system of equations? (–21, 9) (9, –21) (–1, 9) (9, –1)

Romashka [77]

we have

<u>The system of equations</u>

$y=-3x+6$ -------> equation $1$

$y=9$ -------> equation $2$

Substitute equation $2$ in equation $1$

$9=-3x+6$

subtract $6$ both sides

$9-6=-3x+6-6$

$3=-3x$

Divide by $-3$ both sides

$x=-1$

the solution is the point $(-1,9)$

therefore

the answer is

the solution to the system of equations is the point $(-1,9)$

Can someone help with this please!!

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

D) L+S=9 ; 6L+3S=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this information, we know that the total number of large and small Ubers must be 9, so we can eliminate choices A and C as the first part of the system of equations is L+S=9

Also, since the large Ubers can fit only 6 people per vehicle and the small Ubers can only fit 3 people per vehicle, then we can eliminate choice B as the second part of the system of equations is 6L+3S=39

Therefore, the only correct choice is D

Given a 10 foot length of tree trunk with a radius of 3 feet, what is the weight of the tree trunk section if it has a density o

Nutka1998 [239]

treat the tree trunk as a cylinder

v= pi x r^2 x h

using 3.14 for pi

3.14 x 3^2 x 10 = 282.6 cubic feet

282.6 * 45 = 12, 717 pounds
