Answer:

1) At least one (the 11th) student is 23 (years old), Must be true

2) Some students are younger than 15 Could be true

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The number of student in the class = 21

The median age of the student = 23

The age of the oldest student = 29

Therefore, given that the median age = The age of the (n + 1)/2 th student

Where;

n = The number of student in the class = 21

∴ The median age = The age of the (21 + 1)/2 th = 11 th student, when the age of the students are arranged in increasing order, therefore, we have;

At least one (the 11th) student is 23 (years old), Must be true

2) Given that there are 10 students with ages equal to or lower than the median age, and the difference between the median age and the age of the oldest student = 29 - 23 = 6 years, we have;

Some students are younger than 15 Could be true

what is the expression and value of six less than the quotient of a number and two increased by 10 when n=20

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The expression will be (\frac{n}{2} - 6) + 10(

−6)+10 and its value is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to write the expression and the value of “six less than the quotient of a number and two, increased by ten”.

If the number is n, then the expression will be (\frac{n}{2} - 6) + 10(

−6)+10 .

Now, if the value of n is 8 then the value of the expression will be (\frac{8}{2} - 6) + 10 = 4 - 6 + 10 = 8(

−6)+10=4−6+10=8 (Answer)

Where would 3/5 be plotted in a number line?

Mamont248 [21]

Between 0 and 1, add dashes so you have a total of 6 marks including 0 and 1. Then count 3 over and that would be 3/5.

if the following line segment is reflected across the x-axis what are the coordinates new endpoints A.) (-1,-6) and (-3,-2) B.)

Tasya [4]

Answer:

A.) (-1,-6) and (-3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line segment has coordinates

(-1,6) and (-3,2)

The mapping for a reflection in the x-axis is

$(x,y)\to (x,-y)$

This implies that;

$(-1,6)\to (-1,-6)$

and

$(-3,2)\to (-3,-2)$

The correct choice is A.

Find the six trigonometric function values of the angle θ in standard position, if the terminal side of θ is defined by x + 2y =

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

$\sin \theta = \frac{y}r} = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} = -\frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}\\\\\cos \theta = \frac{x}{r} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} = -\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5} \\\\\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-1}{2} = -\frac{1}{2} \\\\\cot \theta = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{-1} = -2\\\\\sec \theta = \frac{r}{x} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} \\\\\csc \theta = \frac{r}{y} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{-1} = -\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to draw the terminal position of the given angle. To do so, we need to find a point that lies on the straight line $x + 2y= 0, x\geq 0$
