Answer:

  • 16.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle is x

Imagine the right triangle with the angle x, with side opposite to angle x 15 ft and the adjacent side is 50 ft.

<u>Use trigonometry:</u>

  • tangent = opposite / adjacent
  • tan x = 15/50
  • tan x = 0.3
  • x = arctan 0.3
  • x = 16.7° (rounded)

Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center?
Naddika [18.5K]
It would be taking the median, since the data distribution is skewed to the right.
The reason for this is that half of the numbers occupy a small space of between 7 and 8. Therefore, the extreme values on the right can give you a misrepresentation of the data if you use the mean, which is why is would be more accurate to use the median instead of the mean.

(4x – 8)(3x + 9) = 0​
Gwar [14]

Answer:

\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}

x=2,\:x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the equation

                         \left(4x\:-\:8\right)\left(3x\:+\:9\right)\:=\:0

solving the equation

\left(4x\:-\:8\right)\left(3x\:+\:9\right)\:=\:0

\mathrm{Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:\quad \:If}\:ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:4x-8=0

4x-8=0

4x-8+8=0+8

4x=8

x=2

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:3x+9=0

3x+9=0

3x+9-9=0-9

3x=-9

x=-3

\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}

x=2,\:x=-3
