Answer:

Median = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the given data set is already in ascending order, we we just have to find the middle most number of the data set:

There are 2 middle numbers 40 and 50, so to find the middle most number find their average:

(40 + 50) / 2 = 45

Median = 45

Hope this helps!

. Given ????(5, −4) and T(−8,12):

damaskus [11]

Answer:

a) $y=\dfrac{13x}{16}-\dfrac{129}{16}$

b) $y = \dfrac{13x}{16}+ \dfrac{37}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points: $S(5,-4)$ and $T(-8,12)$

Since in both questions,a and b, we're asked to find lines that are perpendicular to ST. So, we'll do that first!

Perpendicular to ST:

the equation of any line is given by: $y = mx + c$ where, m is the slope(also known as gradient), and c is the y-intercept.

to find the perpendicular of ST <u>we first need to find the gradient of ST, using the gradient formula.</u>

$m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

the coordinates of S and T can be used here. (it doesn't matter if you choose them in any order: S can be either x_1 and y_1 or x_2 and y_2)

$m = \dfrac{12 - (-4)}{(-8) - 5}$

$m = \dfrac{-16}{13}$

to find the perpendicular of this gradient: we'll use:

$m_1m_2=-1$

both $m_1$ and $m_2$ denote slopes that are perpendicular to each other. So if $m_1 = \dfrac{12 - (-4)}{(-8) - 5}$ , then we can solve for $m_2$ for the slop of ther perpendicular!

$\left(\dfrac{-16}{13}\right)m_2=-1$

$m_2=\dfrac{13}{16}$ :: this is the slope of the perpendicular

a) Line through S and Perpendicular to ST

to find any equation of the line all we need is the slope $m$ and the points $(x,y)$ . And plug into the equation: $(y - y_1) = m(x-x_1)$

side note: you can also use the $y = mx + c$ to find the equation of the line. both of these equations are the same. but I prefer (and also recommend) to use the former equation since the value of 'c' comes out on its own.

$(y - y_1) = m(x-x_1)$

we have the slope of the perpendicular to ST i.e $m=\dfrac{13}{16}$

and the line should pass throught S as well, i.e $(5,-4)$ . Plugging all these values in the equation we'll get.

$(y - (-4)) = \dfrac{13}{16}(x-5)$

$y +4 = \dfrac{13x}{16}-\dfrac{65}{16}$

$y = \dfrac{13x}{16}-\dfrac{65}{16}-4$

$y=\dfrac{13x}{16}-\dfrac{129}{16}$

this is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to ST and passes through S

a) Line through T and Perpendicular to ST

we'll do the same thing for $T(-8,12)$

$(y - y_1) = m(x-x_1)$

$(y -12) = \dfrac{13}{16}(x+8)$

$y = \dfrac{13x}{16}+ \dfrac{104}{16}+12$

$y = \dfrac{13x}{16}+ \dfrac{37}{2}$

this is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to ST and passes through T

A garden table and a bench cost 816 combined. The garden table costs 84 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

klemol [59]

Answer:

366

Step-by-step explanation:

A garden table and bench cost 816 when combined together

The garden table cost 84 less than the bench

Therefore the price of the bench can be calculated as follows

x + (x+84)= 816

2x+84= 816

2x= 816-84

2x= 732

Divide both sides by 2

x= 732/2

= 366

Hence the price of the bench is 366

It’s 11:45 and you have an awesome appointment in 3 hours and 25 minutes. What time is your appointment? Please HELP!

stiks02 [169]

Answer: The time would be 3:00

There are 60 minute per hour. If it is 11:45, it's 25 minutes until 12:10. Once it is 12:10, the next hour (after 50 minutes) would be 1:00. so if you take 11:45 and add the 25 minutes from 3 hours and 25 minutes, it is 12:10 and you are left with 3 hours. 3 hours after 12:10 is 3:10
