Answer: I know it 4 but I don’t know the equation for it, I can only help you this far.(hope it help)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,4) and (-2,-8)

(x is the first number of the point which is 1 and -2, y is the second number of the point which is 4 and -8.)

(x1 is 1, it alway the first point they tell you on the problem like (1,-4) is on the problem first so it gonna be x1 and y1, for x2 it -2, it alway the second point in the problem like (-2,-8) is the second point they tell you so it gonna be y1 and y2.)

Do x2 - x1 and y2 - y1(y/x)

-8 - 4/-2 - 1 = -12/-3

-12/-3 divide top and bottom by -3, that would equal to 4

Answer:

4:9

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is squaring and Volume is cubing

So it'd be 2^2:3^3, or 4:9

Mean, Median, Mode and Range. Easy hard math. Please show work and give answers . Need help appreciate you all

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

quiz scores:

a. arrange them all from least to greatest to figure out the median first

your quiz: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 middle # = 17 median = 17

friend's quiz: 12, 13, 17, 20, 20 middle # = 17 median = 17

now for mean add all of your quiz scores up and divide by how many #s

15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 = 85 / 5 = 17 mean = 17

now your friend's:

12 + 13 + 17 + 20 + 20 = 82 / 5 = 16.4 mean = 16.4

mode is which number is used the most

your mode = you don't have a mode your friend's mode = 20

b. you have a higher mean than your friend

world populations:

a. range is to subtract the smallest number from the largest

803 - 31 = 772

b. mean is adding it all up and dividing by how many numbers there are:

803 + 487 + 348 + 368 + 730 + 31 = 2767 / 6 = 461.17

median is arranging them in order and finding the middle #

31, 348, 368, 487, 730, 803

368 + 487 = 855 / 2 = 427.5

mean = 461.17

median = 427.5

mode = no mode

tomato plants:

a. range is subtracting the smallest from the largest

52 - 36 = 16

b. mean is adding all the #s and dividing by how many #s there are:

36 + 45 + 52 + 40 + 38 +41 + 50 + 48 = 350 / 8 = 43.75

median is the middle from least to greatest

36, 38, 40, 41, 45, 48, 50, 52

41 + 45 = 86 / 2 = 43

mean = 43.75

median = 43

mode = no mode

hope this helps! :)

The graph of f(x) = 2x^2 + 20x + 48 is shown

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

a) The equation in intercept form by factoring is (x+6)(x+4)

b) From the given graph x- intercepts are (-4,0) and (-6,0) and zeros (roots) of the function are -6 and -4.

c) The solutions of $2x^2+20x+48=0$ is $(x+6)(x+4)=0$ that is x= -6 and x = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is $f(x)=2x^2+20x+48$

Put the function f(x) = 0 , then $f(x)=2x^2+20x+48=0$

a) The equation in intercept form by factoring is ,

Consider the given function,

$f(x)=2x^2+20x+48=0$

$\Rightarrow 2x^2+20x+48=0$

taking 2 common, we get,

$\Rightarrow 2(x^2+10x+24)=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2+10x+24=0$

The above is a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Solving quadratic equation using middle term splitting method,

$\Rightarrow x^2+6x+4x+24=0$

$\Rightarrow x(x+6)+4(x+6)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x+6)(x+4)=0$

Thus, The equation in intercept form by factoring is (x+6)(x+4).

b) From the given graph x- intercepts are (-4,0) and (-6,0) .

Zeroes / roots of a function are those points where the value of the function is zero.

Put f(x) = 0 as solved above

that is $(x+6)(x+4)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x+6)=0$ or $\Rightarrow (x+4)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=-6$ or $\Rightarrow x=-4$

Thus, zeros (roots) of the function are -6 and -4.

For checking put x = -6 and -4 in the function we get f(x) =0 .

c) The solutions of $2x^2+20x+48=0$ is $(x+6)(x+4)=0$ that is x= -6 and x = -4 as shown above.
