Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2 - 6y + 9 can be changed correctly into y^2 - 2(y)(3) + 3^2.

Up to here, it's correct.

The right side above shows a polynomial that is the square of a binomial.

It factors into (y - 3)^2.

The correct factorization is (y - 3)^2.

The incorrect factorization of the student's solution is the product of a sum and difference.

The product of a sum and a difference is the correct factorization for a difference of squares.

For example, y^2 - 9 is the same as y^2 - 3^2 and is a difference of squares.

It factors into (y + 3)(y - 3), a product of a sum and a difference.

This box plot shows information about the marks scored in a test.
aliina [53]
Since 120 students gained less than 70, and 70 is the upper quartile, 120 people are in the 75% of all the students so we need to find the total number of students.
we need to multiply 0.75 (75%) by something to get 120. which is 160 (the total number of all students).
and since 48 is the median score, find 50% of 160 which is 80!
hope this helps :)
