<h3>Answer:  x = 7</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Since we have an odd number of values, this tells us that the median is part of the data set. It's the middle most item after we sort the values.

Recall that the mode is the most frequent item. Since the mode and median are the same, this must mean x can only be equal to one of the following

4, 9, 7 or 8

We can only pick one of those values.

----------------------

If x = 4, then the set {4,9,7,8,x} updates to {4,9,7,8,4} which sorts to {4,4,7,8,9}

The middle most item is in slot 3, which would be 7. So the median is 7.

The median 7 does not match with the mode 4.

So we cross x = 4 off the list.

-----------------------

If x = 7, then we have {4,7,7,8,9}

The mode is 7 and the median is 7. So far, so good.

Now let's compute the mean. Add up the values and divide by 5 because there are 5 items.

(4+7+7+8+9)/5 = 35/5 = 7

We've shown that the set {4,7,7,8,9} has mean 7.

Overall, that set has the same mean, median and mode. So the answer is confirmed.

I'll let you check the cases when x = 8 and x = 9.

1. Maryann is tracking the change in her vertical jump over 6 months. Use the table to write a linear function that models her j
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part 1) Option A. f of x equals one half times x plus 16

Part 2) Option  A. x = 5

Part 3) Option C. x − 4y = −9

Part 4) Option A. The number of rides is the independent variable, and the total cost is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

Let

x -----> the number of months

y ----> vertical jump in inches

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(0,16) and (2,17)

m=(17-16)/(2-0)=\frac{1}{2}

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

we have

m=\frac{1}{2}

b=16 -----> the point (0,16) is the y-intercept

substitute

y=\frac{1}{2}x+16

convert to function notation

f(x)=y

f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+16

Part 2) What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(5, 0) and (5, −2)

m=(-2-0)/(5-5)=\frac{-2}{0}

the slope is undefined

This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

therefore

The equation is

x=5

Part 3) Choose the equation that represents a line that passes through points (−1, 2) and (3, 1)

step 1

Find the slope

we have the points

(−1, 2) and (3, 1)

m=(1-2)/(3+1)=-\frac{1}{4}  

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-\frac{1}{4}

point\ (3, 1)

substitute

y-1=-\frac{1}{4}(x-5)

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

4y-4=-(x-5)

4y-4=-x+5

x-4y=-4-5

x-4y=-9

Part 4) Jewels has $6.75 to ride the ferry around Connecticut. It will cost her $0.45 every time she rides. Identify the dependent variable and independent variable in this scenario

we know that

The <u>independent variable</u> is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable (An example the age and time)

The <u>dependent variable</u> it’s what changes as a result of the changes to the independent variable (An example of a dependent variable is how tall you are at different ages. The dependent variable (height) depends on the independent variable (age))

Let

x ----> the number of rides

y ----> the total cost in dollars

In this problem

The independent variable or input is the number of rides

The dependent variable or output is the total cost

Determine the volume of the shaded area.
vovikov84 [41]

The shaded area in the image is 86.1 square inches.

<h3>How to get the shaded area?</h3>

Remember that for a circle of diameter D, the area is given by:

A = pi*(D/2)²

Where pi = 3.14, and here we have half-circles, so we need to add a factor 0.5

The area of the shaded figure, the area of the shaded figure will be the area of the half circle with diameter of 17in minus the area of the half circle with a diameter of 8.5 in, so the area is:

area = 0.5*3.14*(17in/2)² - 0.5*3.14*(8.5in/2)² = 86.1 in²
