Answer:
The mode, which is 7, is not a typical distance for the data. The median, which is 3.5, is not a typical distance for the data. The mean, which is 4, is a typical distance for the data. So, Grace’s reasoning is not correct.
Answer:
The midpoint is (-1,-1)
This is in quadrant III
Step-by-step explanation:
The x coordinate of the midpoint is
(-4+2)/2 = -2/2 = -1
The y coordinate of the midpoint is
(1+-3)/2 = -2/2 = -1
The midpoint is (-1,-1)
The quadrant with both negative points is quadrant III
The numbers are (-8, 3) or (3, -8).
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given the product of the numbers are -24 and their sum are -5. Let the numbers be a and b. Form equations out of these details.
⇒ a + b = -5 ⇒ b = -5 - a
⇒ a × b = -24 -------- (1)
- Step 2: Substitute the value of b in eq(1)
⇒ a × (-5 - a) = - 24
⇒ -5a - a² = -24
⇒ a² + 5a - 24 = 0
- Step 3: Solve the quadratic equation for a.
a = (-5 ± √25 - 4 × 1 × -24)/2
= (-5 ± √121)/2
= - 16/2, 6/2 = -8 or 3
- Step 4: For each value of a, find b.
When a = -8, b = -5 +8 = 3
When a = 3, b = -5 - 3 = -8.
The cat weighs 14.375 pounds (or 230 ounces even).
Hope this helps!
1. when you see 4(x² - 1), then you have to multiply 4 with everything in the bracket. keep in mind that you always have to be cautious of the sign whether it is a positive or a negative.
positive ×/÷ positive = positive
negative ×/÷ negative = positive
positive ×/÷ negative = negative
negative ×/÷ positive = negative
^ you have to remember this.
2. only like terms (same alphabet) can plus or minus each other.
3. simplify by taking out the common factor and placing it outside the bracket.
