The answer to this question is the first item in the choices which is "The teacher should use the mean for both Amo and Javier" when computing and comparing their grades. The mean is the average grade while the median is the center of the grade. It would be wrong to apply median in computing their grades and it would be also wrong when the use two different methods when computing and comparing their grades.
The answer to your question is:
It is a quadratic equation in 'x', with 'n' mistakenly typed in the second term..
Although you didn't ask for the solutions to the equation, I'm already here
so I might as well go through it and find them:
<span><u>3x² - 2x - 5 = 0</u></span>
In terms of the generic quadratic formula:
A = 3
B = -2
C = -5
Plug those into the quadratic formula, and you discover that
<u>x = -1</u>
and
<u>x = ⁵/₃</u>
The answer is a)
Let me know if you need an explanation
<span>x^3 - 4x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0</span>
1) Type of motion: constant acceleration.
2) acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s^2
3) time up = time down = 4seconds / 2 = 2 seconds
4) formula = Vf = Vo - a*t^2/2
Vf = 0 => Vo = a*t^2 / 2 = 9.8m/s^2 * (2 s)^2 / 2 = 19.6 m/s
Answer: 19.6 m/s
