Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the numbers are in ascending order, x is the number with the highest value here.

From the arrangement, we can see that the median (the middle number) is the third number which is 9

The mean is the sum of the numbers divided by their count. So we set up the mean and equate to the median

We have this as;

(1 + 9 + 9 + 10 + x)/5 = 9

29 + x = 5(9)

29 + x = 45

x = 45-29

x = 16

A.Find the L.C.M of 18, 40, and 75.<br>

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

1800

Step-by-step explanation:

→ First of all we need to find the prime factorisation of the numbers.

18 = 2 × 3 × 3 or 2 × 3²

40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 or 2³ × 5

75 = 3 × 5 × 5 or 5² × 3

→ Now find the number that appear twice or more and write them down

3 and 3 from 18

2, 2 and 2 from 40

5 and 5 from 75

→ Now multiply all of these numbers together

3 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 = 3² × 2³ × 5² = 1800

I think the answer would be C. based on the cost of the treatment alone, plan A should be selected over plan B

If we count the cost and probability of remission, the cost of per 1 % remission with plan A is $ 25 , while the cost of per 1 % remission with plan B is $ 34

Solve the quadratic function by completing the square. what are the missing pieces in the steps? –32 = 2(x2 10x) –32 = 2(x2 10x

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The missing pieces of the solution of the quadratic equation are 50, 3, and -8.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

To fill the missing piece of the solution of the quadratic equation, you need to balance each of the equations. Therefore, the solution to the problem can be written as,

$-32 = 2(x^2 + 10x)\\\\-32 + 50 = 2(x^2 + 10x + 25)\\\\18 = 2(x + 5)^2\\\\9 = (x + 5)2\\\\\pm 3= x + 5\\\\x = -2\ \ {\rm or}\ \ x = -8$

Thus, the solution of the quadratic equation is -2 or -8.

Hence, the missing pieces of the solution of the quadratic equation are 50, 3, and -8.
