So before anything, rearrange the data so that it's in ascending order: {2,3,9,12,13,14,16,17}

Next, the minimum and maximum are as they seem: the smallest and largest numbers in the data. Looking at our data, 2 is our minimum and 17 is our maximum.

Next, to find the median, find the number that is in the middle of the data set. If there isn't one number in the middle, find the average of the two middle numbers to get your median:

$\{2,3,9,\overbrace{\boxed{12,13,}}^{\textsf{middle numbers}}14,16,17\}\\\\\frac{12+13}{2}\\\\\frac{25}{2}\\\\12.5$

The median is 12.5.

Next, to find the first quartile, or the lower quartile, find the "median" of the numbers to the left of the median.

$\overbrace{\{2,\boxed{3,9,}12,}^{\textsf{left of median}}13,14,16,17\}\\\\\frac{3+9}{2}\\\\\frac{12}{2}\\\\6$

The first quartile is 6.

Next, to find the third quartile, or the upper quartile, find the "median" of the numbers to the right of the median.

$\{2,3,9,12,\overbrace{13,\boxed{14,16,}17\}}^{\textsf{right of median}}\\\\\frac{14+16}{2}\\\\\frac{30}{2}\\\\15$

The third quartile is 15.

Use synthetic division to find the quotient and the remainder for the problem: (12x^4 + 5^3 + 3x^2 - 5)/(x+1)?,

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Step 1 : Setting up the problem

Write the coefficients of the dividend in the same order. For missing terms, enter the co-efficient as zero. Set the divisor equal to zero and use that number in the division box.

The problem now looks as follows:

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5

Step 2 : Bring down the first co-efficient and write it in the bottom row.

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5
______________________ 12

Step 3 : Multiply the first coefficient with the divisor and enter the value below
the next co-efficient. Add the two and write the value in the bottom row.

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5
_____-12_______________ 12 -7

Step 4 : Repeat Step 3 for rest of the coefficients as well:

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5
____________7 ___________ 12 -7 10

-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5 ______________ -10______ 12 -7 10 -10
-1 | 12 5 3 0 -5 ____________________ 10_ 12 -7 10 -10 5
The last row now represents the quotient coefficients and the remainder. Co-efficients of Quotient are written one power less than their original power and the remainder is written as a fraction.

Answer :12x^3-7x^2+10x-10+5/(x+1) where the last term denotes the remainder and the rest is the quotient.

How do you solve for elimination method

dezoksy [38]

The elimination method for solving systems of linear equations uses the addition property of equality. You can add the same value to each side of an equation.

So if you have a system: x – 6 = −6 and x + y = 8, you can add x + y to the left side of the first equation and add 8 to the right side of the equation. And since x + y = 8, you are adding the same value to each side of the first equation.
