Answer:

Median highland = 16 mm

Median lowland = 16 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

For the highland area :

The sample size, n = 44

Obtain the median value using :

1/2 * (n + 1)th term

1/2 * (44 +1) th term

1/2 * 45 = 22.5th term.

(22nd + 23rd) term / 2

(16 + 16) / 2 = 16 mm

For the lowland area :

1/2 * (n + 1)th term

1/2 * (44 +1) th term

1/2 * 45 = 22.5th term.

(22nd + 23rd) term / 2

(12 + 12) / 2 = 12 mm

Please help! <br> Simplify. Your answer should contain only positive exponents.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4k^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It's already in a form that only ha positive exponents. Just to state it though you could rewrite it as $k*(4k^{4})^{-1}$ or $k*4^{-1}*k^{-4}$ The question asks for positive exponents though so yu don't need to do that.

You also need to know $\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$ so in this case $\frac{k}{k^4}=\frac{k^1}{k^4} =k^{1-4}=k^{-3}=\frac{1}{k^3}$

so $\frac{k}{4k^4}=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{k}{k^4}=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{k^3}=\frac{1}{4k^3}$

Bill has saved $825 from his last 8 paychecks. He saved either $75 or $150 a paycheck. Formulate and solve a system of equations

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of times that he saved $75 be x.

Let the number of times that he saved $150 be y.

Therefore, based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation which will be:

x + y = 8 ...... i

75x + 150y = 825 ....... ii

From equation I,

x + y = 8

y = 8 - x....... iiii

Put equation iii into ii and this will be:

75x + 150y = 825

75x + 150(8 - x) = 825

75x + 1200 - 150x = 825

75x - 150x = 825 - 1200

-75x = -375

x = 375/75

x = 5

He saved $75 5times from his paycheck.

X^2 + 6x - 18 solve for x

Simora [160]

Answer:

x = - 3 ± √27 or if you want it in decimal form correct to nearest hundredth:

x = -8.20, 2.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 6x - 18 = 0

this will not factor so we use completing the square:

x^2 + 6x = (x + 3)^2 - 9 so:

(x + 3)^2 - 9 - 18 = 0

(x + 3)^2 = 27

x+ 3 = ±√27

x = - 3 ± √27
