5. Answer: see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If the roots are m and 3m, then x = m and x = 3m

⇒ x - m = 0 and x - 3m = 0

⇒ (x - m)(x - 3m) = 0

⇒ x² - 4mx + 3m² = 0

Since x² + px + q = 0 then p = -4m and q = 3m²

3p² = 3(-4m)² 16q = 16(3m²)

= 3(16m²) = 48m²

= 48m²

3p² = 48m² = 16q ⇒ 3p² = 16q

6. Answer: 8 or 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of the entire rectangle (A = L × w) is 12 × 10 = 120

The Area of the shaded region is 72, so the Area of the non-shaded region is 120 - 72 = 48.

There are two non-shaded triangles.

Bigger non-shaded Δ: L = 12-x, w = 10 ⇒ $A = \dfrac{10(12-x)}{2}$
Smaller non-shaded Δ: L = x, w = x ⇒ $A=\dfrac{x(x)}{2}$

Combine the Areas of both triangles and set it equal to the Area of the non-shaded region:

$\dfrac{x(x)}{2}+\dfrac{10(12-x)}{2}=48\\\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{120-10x}{2}=48\\\\\\\dfrac{x^2-10x+120}{2}=48\\\\\\x^2-10x+120=96\\\\x^2-10x+24=0\\\\(x-4)(x-6)=0\\\\x - 4 = 0\quad or\quad x-6=0\\x=4\qquad or\qquad x=6\\\\\text{Based on the image provided, it appears that the x-value will be the}\\\text{smallest of the two possible solutions (4), but both solutions are valid.}$

Area of ΔBEF:

$\text{when x = 4, A =}\ \dfrac{4(4)}{2}=\dfrac{16}{2}=8\\\\\\\text{when x = 6, A =}\ \dfrac{6(6)}{2}=\dfrac{36}{2}=18$

3. There are 350 people in an office building. A local deli randomly surveyed people in the building to determine the average am

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

(a)Sample 1

The Mean = 20

The median = 25

Sample 2

The Mean = 31

The median = 60

(b) Sample 1 has the least spread

Sample 1 has the least deviations from the mean

(c) Sample 1 align with the third sample

The least representative of the population is sample 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is ∑fx/∑f

∑fx = 30 + 25 + 10 + 25 + 10 = 100

∑f = 5

Mean = 100/5 = 20

For the median, we arrange the data in increasing order;

10, 10, 25, 25, 30

The median = the middle number = 25

Sample 2

The mean is ∑fx/∑f

∑fx = 5 + 60 + 10 + 30 + 50 = 155

∑f = 5

Mean = 155/5 = 31

For the median, we arrange the data in increasing order;

5, 10, 30, 50, 60

The median = the middle number = 30

(b) Sample 1 range =$30 -$10 = $20

Sample 2 range =$65 -$5 = $60

Sample 1 has the least spread

Sample 1 standard deviation = 9.354

Sample 2 standard deviation =24.083

Sample 1 has the least deviations from the mean

(c) $30, $25, $20, $20, $25

Mean = 24

$20, $20, $25, $25, $30

Median = $25

∑fx = 120

Therefore sample 1 align with the third sample

The least representative of the population is sample 1 with ∑fx = 100.
