Answer:
d. x ∈ {-3, -2, 1}
Step-by-step explanation:
The word "approximate" in the problem statement suggests that the roots may not be integers. Consequently, the solution method of choice is graphing.
A graph shows the solutions to f(x)=0 to be x=-3, x=-2, and x=1, matching selection D.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
Any value of x can be put into the formula and it will be a "solution." For example, f(0) = -6 is a "solution" to the polynomial function. The problem statement is not specific as to the solution(s) sought. We have had to guess that we want values of x such that f(x)=0.
(a)
Q1, the first quartile, 25th percentile, is greater than or equal to 1/4 of the points. It's in the first bar so we can estimate Q1=5. In reality the bar includes values from 0 to 9 or 10 (not clear which) and has around 37% of the points so we might estimate Q1 a bit higher as it's 2/3 of the points, say Q1=7.
The median is bigger than half the points. First bar is 37%, next is 22%, so its about halfway in the second bar, median=15
Third bar is 11%, so 70% so far. Four bar is 5%, so we're at the right end of the fourth bar for Q3, the third quartile, 75th percentile, say Q3=40
b
When the data is heavily skewed left like it is here, the median tends to be lower than the mean. The 5% of the data from 80 to 120 averages around 100 so adds 5 to the mean, and 8% of the data from the 60 to 80 adds another 5.6, 15% of the data from 40 to 60 adds about 7.5, plus the rest, so the mean is gonna be way bigger than the median of around 15.
Perimeter is the outside of it and the perimeter is the inside of it, so I'm pretty sure you would have to do both but if u have to do one then I would go with area
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
How many questions are on the exam? Represent this by n.
Then 40% of n comes out to 12 questions, or more symbolically,
0.40n = 12, after which we get n = 12/0.40 = 30
Answers:
(1) 0.40n = 12 is the desired equation.
(2) n = 30 is the number of questions on the exam.
(3) See above for explanations.
