Answer:

[a,b,c]=[4,2,5] or [a,b,c]=[2,4,5]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{cccccc}{Bedroom} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} \ \\ {Houses} & {7} & {a} & {b} & {c} & {8} \ \end{array}

n = 26

Median = 3.5

Required

Find a, b and c

Median is calculated as:

Median = \frac{n+1}{2}

Median = \frac{26+1}{2}

Median = \frac{27}{2}

Median = 13.5th

This means that the median is the average of the 13th and 14th item.

\begin{array}{cccccc}{Bedroom} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} \ \\ {Houses} & {7} & {a} & {b} & {c} & {8} \ \end{array}

Since the median is Median = 3.5 (average of 3 and 4),

and:

3 \to b \to 13

4 \to c \to 14

This implies that c begins at 14

So, the number of houses bedrooms 4 and 5 is:

c + 8 = 26 - 14 +1

c + 8 = 13

c = 5

Also

7 + a + b + c + 8 = 26 ---- sum of total frequency

a + b + c = 26 - 7 - 8

a + b + c = 11

Substitute c = 5

a + b + 5 = 11

a + b = 11 - 5

a + b = 6

Since a, b and c are different, then

a and b cannot be 5 because c = 5

a and b cannot be 3 because a = b =3

b \ne 0 because b ends at 13

a

So, possible sets are:

[a,b]=[2,4]

[a,b]=[4,2]

Include c, we have:

[a,b,c]=[4,2,5] or [a,b,c]=[2,4,5]

Which represents the solution(s) of the graphed system of equations, y = x2 – 2x and y = –2x – 1? (1, –1) (0, 0) and (0, –1) (0,
olganol [36]

ANSWER

No solution

EXPLANATION

The first equation is

y =  {x}^{2}  - 2x

and the second equation is

y =  - 2x  - 1

We equate the two equations to obtain;

{x}^{2}  - 2x =  - 2x - 1

This implies that

{x}^{2}  =  - 2x + 2x - 1

{x}^{2}  =  - 1

There is no real number whose square is -1.

Therefore, the equation has no solution.

A triangle with sides of lengths 9, 22, and 24 is a right triangle
Leona [35]

Answer:

The statement is false

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

if the triangle is a right triangle

then

the triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}

we have

c=24\ units

a=9\ units

b=22\ units

substitute

24^{2}=9^{2}+22^{2}

576=81+484

576 \neq 565

therefore

Is not a right triangle

The statement is false
