Answer:

Q1 = 30.25 minutes

Q2 = 42.5 minutes

Q3 = 40 minutes  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, In Question

  • The stem and leaf diagram (key 2 I 1)

Stem | Leaves

2        |  1 3 5 5 5 8

3        |  1 5 6 7 8 9

4        |  2 3 4 6 6 6 8

5        |  2 2 4 5 7 7 8

  • We need to find the quartiles Q1, Q2 and Q3. We know that,

Q1 = (1/4)*(n+1)th value

Q2 = (1/2)*(n+1)th value

Q3 = (3/4)*(n+1)th value

where n is the total number of co-workers 26.

  • So, Q1 = (1/4)*(26+1)th value

             Q1 = 6.75th value

we need to count the leaves in the plot starting from the first one until we reach the 6.75th value. So, by counting, we conclude that the 6.75th value lies between the 6th and 7th value i.e. 28 and 31.

Q1 = 28 + (31-28)*0.75

    = 28 + 2.25

Q1 = 30.25 minutes

  • Now, Q2 = (1/2) * (26+1)th value

                       = 13.5th value.

From the plot, we find that the 13.5th value lies in the middle of the 13th and 14th values i.e. 42 and 43. So,

Q2 = (42+43)/2

     = 85/2  

Q2 = 42.5 minutes

  • And, Q3 = (3/4)*(26+1)th value

                      = 20.25th value

From the plot. we find that the 20.25th value lies somewhere between the 20th and 21st value i.e. 52 and 52. So,

Q3 = 40 + (52-52)*0.25

    = 40 + 0

Q3 = 40 minutes

Any even number raised to any power will remain even. (e.g. 2² = 4, 2³ = 8, etc)

Any odd number raised to any power will remain odd. (e.g. 1² = 1³ = ... = 1, 3⁴ = 81, etc)

So (n+1)^{2^k}-n^{2^k} will always be even, since both

[even] - [odd] = [odd]

and

[odd] - [even] = [odd]

Using the quadratic formula to solve x2 = 5 – x, what are the values of x?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

x²=5-x

x²+x-5=0

1x²+1x²-5=0

[ax²+bx²+c=0]

∆=b²-4ac

∆=1²-4(-5)(1)=1+20=21

x=(-b±√∆)/2a

x=(-1±√21)/2

meaning:

x=(-1+√21)/2 or x=(-1-√21)/2

The distance, d, in kilometres, travelled by a plane after t hours can be represented by d(t)=-4t³=40t²+500t, where t is greater
Ede4ka [16]
D(t) = -4t^3 + 40t^2 + 500t = 4088
4t^3 - 40t^2 - 500t + 4088 = 0
t = 7

Therefore, the plane has flown 4088 km 7 hours after it took off.

a 2 1/2m board is to be used for making shelves,each using up 5/6m of board. Does he have enough board left to make another shel
Hunter-Best [27]
I dont think so because if you multiply 2 1/2 by 5/6 you would get 2 1/12 which means that you can make the first shelf but you would need to subtract 2 1/2 minus 2 1/12 and you would get 5/12. And 5/12 is not the same as 4/5

Hope this helps!!!     Name me brainliest please!
